Cider Toddy
Ingredients
1 glass dry cider
¼ oz. root ginger
1 dessertspoon honey
Lemon peel
Method
Heat the cider, bruised ginger and a twist of lemon peel in an aluminium, stainless steel or enamelled saucepan until bubbles just begin to rise in the liquid. Quickly remove from the heat, stir in the honey and strain into a warmed glass. This is excellent for drinking just before bedtime. Drinking it in bed and taking two Aspirins is said to prevent a cold. Even if this is a false hope it certainly induces sleep.
