Description

Let’s nip that cold in the BUD, shall we?

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
  • 2 whole Meyer Lemons
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ cups Plus A Pinch Of White Sugar, Divided Use
  • 1 cup Water
  • FOR THE HOT TODDY:
  • 1 cup Bourbon
  • ⅓ cups Honey
  • 2 ounces, fluid Meyer Lemon Juice (from The Lemons)
  • 1-½ ounce, fluid Simple Syrup (made With The Above Ingredients)

Preparation

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the lemon zest from both lemons and toss the zest into a mini food processor. Set the lemons aside.

Add the cayenne pepper into the food processor. And maybe a tiny pinch of sugar. Blitz until it’s as finely chopped as possible.

In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of sugar, water and the zest mixture. Simmer on medium for about 15 minutes, until a syrup forms and thickens.

Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl and let the bowl of liquid cool for 15 minutes. Discard solids.

Back into the pan, add the bourbon, honey, 2 ounces of lemon juice (from the reserved lemons) and the simple syrup. Warm up to desired heat and serve in glass mugs. Garnish with additional lemon peel if desired.

Oh, this sounds divine! Do you have any experience with making a larger batch of the whole finished product (including the booze) and storing that in the fridge? It would be quite the perfect last-minute Christmas gift.
