Recipe for a Hot Toddy
(Whether Your Sick or Not!)
This was my Daddy’s remedy and I wanted to add it. He kept a bottle of this made up and if we got sick we got a dose and had to go to bed.
2 peppermint candies
Half of squeezed lemon
A gulp of Honey
A shot glass of whiskey
He would heat it up and we had to drink it. There was no money to go to the doctor.
