The Rum & Black Tea Toddy
This toddy is my definitive cold-weather drink. The choice of Appleton 12 Year is intentional; that specific Jamaican funk and barrel character stands up beautifully to the rich Demerara and tannic black tea. It’s a perfectly constructed warmer where every single ingredient pulls its weight.
