I love a warm boozy drink in cold weather and it is cold AF out there at the moment! I call this recipe a hot toddy but I don’t like whisky; I use rum which makes it grog technically. I don’t know why but medicinal grog just doesn’t sound as pleasant to me, maybe because it was a naval thing or perhaps because the word ‘grog’ is just nasty on the ears. Anyway, so as not to offend , I am calling this recipe witches grog until I find a name more pleasing to the ear. All suggestions on a stamped addressed postcard welcome.
I use tea so much in my practice! It’s probably the easiest way to access the medicinal and magical properties of herbs. The making of it is a ritual all in itself. You can read more about that here. Is a herbal tea with booze in it still tea? It’s still a tisane in my opinion so I’m saying yes.
This brew is designed to warm your cockles and ease any cold like symptoms. It boosts immunity and is just divine, like a warm hug in a mug. Perfect for these cold winter evenings. If you have got a cold coming, the ingredients in this recipe will ease your symptoms and help you rest and relax. I find there is extra potent magic in making it for someone else too.
*please always do your own research on ingredients, although I am careful not to include herbs that could have adverse affects combined with other medications and conditions, without warning. I am not a doctor*

Take care of yourselves my darlings, spring is on it’s way. We just have to get through the last cold clutches of winter as best we can.
Peace out witches!
