What Does Throat Coat Tea Taste Like?
My taste buds don’t particularly like the taste of liquorice tea (I quite like liquorice sweeties) but tea is another story. It has slightly pungent taste, but if I was under the weather, this tea would certainly hit the spot. This hot toddy, on the other hand, is simply wonderful. I’ll definitely be making this again, and again!

How to Make This Throat Coat Hot Tea Toddy From Scratch
Making this tea toddy from scratch is super simple to do. It is just a case of steeping your tea, adding lemon, honey and a dash of brandy. Alternatively, you can use whatever tipple that takes your fancy. I would recommend using a dark liqueur such as dark rum, brandy or whiskey. And of course, you can omit the alcohol all together or use a non alcoholic tipple too.

2 Cups of Old Fashioned/Cloudy Lemonade

Allow to infuse for 15 minutes with the lid on to lock in all that herbal goodness.
Remove the tea bags and serve with the brandy and lemon slices in mugs. Enjoy :)
