Cinnamon Maple Toddy Mocktail Recipe
Equipment
- The main things are a small saucepan for heating and a stirring spoon.
- I also use a mug to serve the toddy since it keeps the drink warm longer.
- If you have a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder,
- They can be helpful for grinding cinnamon sticks into powder.
- An optional whisk can help mix everything smoothly.
Ingredients
Here’s what I put in my toddy:
- 1 cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup hot water
- Pinch of nutmeg optional
- Dash of vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- First, I start by heating the maple syrup and broken cinnamon stick in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Let them simmer gently for about 5 minutes to mix the flavors.
- Then, I add the hot water and continue warming the mixture, stirring it lightly.
- Finally, pour the toddy into a mug and stir again.
- If you love it spicy, add a little more cinnamon or nutmeg.
