<span class="summary">This apple cider hot toddy recipe is light and warming, perfect for the holidays. The quality of ingredients goes a long way here, so be sure to use real, unfiltered apple cider (it should be murky). Locally produced cider tends to be fresher and contain fewer (if any) additives. Spiced cider is good, too. Recipe yields 1 cocktail.</span>

Apple Cider Hot Toddy

water

green tea

rye whiskey or bourbon (I like Bulleit)

real apple cider

lemon

Suggested garnishes: thin, round slices of lemon, a cinnamon stick, and star anise

Bring the water to a simmer and carefully pour it over the tea bag into a standard-sized mug, leaving about an inch of room in your mug for the whiskey and cider. Let the tea steep for a few minutes, then discard the bag so the tea doesn&#8217;t get bitter.

Pour in the whiskey or bourbon and a hefty splash of apple cider (adjust these amounts to suit your tastes). Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and garnish with lemon slices, a cinnamon stick and a star anise. Sip up.

This sounds so yummy. I was wondering could you convert this to a crock pot option so you could keep it warm and serve it to a large group?
Thanks

This version is sheer genius.  Not nearly as sinus-penetrating or as cloying as either the classic hot toddy or hot apple cider.  Southern California is not apple country, so with no fresh cider at hand, I used Trader Joe’s bottled Honeycrisp apple cider and Knob Hill bourbon in the gigantic Costco bottle.  The squeeze of lemon (Meyer, from our backyard)  was the perfect finish. Thank you! Definitely going to be in heavy rotation till spring.
