Zippy Toddy

ZIPPY TODDY

FOOD AS MEDICINE:

The zippy toddy acts as an expectorant, thins mucus, aids in nausea, aids with sleep, and boosts immune function with vitamin C. I concocted this tonic herbal drink to assist my liver and it has quickly become one of my favorites! The taste is a bit different – it’s rich, spicy, and creamy, with a mocha butterscotch taste. It’s really hard to describe, but my taste buds dance to it. In turn, my hormones are happy, hence the name!

INGREDIENTS:

2 ½ cups hot water
⅓ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced
2 tablespoons wild unfiltered honey
1 oz whisky or bourbon (optional)
