A “COVID toddy” is not a standard or recognized drink like a traditional hot toddy. However, if you’re looking for a comforting beverage to help alleviate symptoms associated with COVID-19, here’s a recipe for a soothing hot drink that may help ease discomfort:
Ingredients:
– 1 cup hot water
– 2 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon lemon & lime juice
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger
– Optional: 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
– Optional: Dash of cinnamon or turmeric for extra flavor and potential health benefits
– Optional: 1-2 ounces of whiskey, fireball or bourbon (if not contraindicated with any medications or health conditions)
Instructions:
1. Boil water in a kettle or on the stovetop until it reaches a simmer.
2. While the water is heating, prepare your other ingredients.
3. In a mug, combine honey, lemon juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic (if using).
4. Once the water is hot, pour it into the mug over the other ingredients.
5. Stir well to dissolve the honey and blend the flavors.
6. If desired, add a dash of cinnamon or turmeric for extra flavor and potential health benefits.
7. Optionally, add whiskey or bourbon to the mixture for a classic hot toddy twist.
8. Allow the drink to cool slightly before sipping, and enjoy the soothing warmth.
Double portion if needed for a family. Remember, while a COVID toddy might provide comfort, it’s essential to follow medical advice and treatment guidelines if you’re experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. This drink can help soothe a sore throat and provide hydration, but it won’t cure or treat the virus itself. To steam repeat the above cover your face with a towel and breathe! If you’re experiencing severe symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
