November is officially the start of Hot Toddy season. Not only is it a great drink for warming you up, but as the days get colder and the flu starts to go around, it’s also fantastic for easing your symptoms. But you shouldn’t just drink a Hot Toddy when you’re sick. And with so many variations to choose from, you’ll easily find one to fit your mood and warm your core.
