Hot Rum & Ginger Toddy by Cookin' Canuck

A steaming hot toddy, made of brewed tea, dark rum and ginger will warm you to your toes. It’s possible that I’ve reached my cold weather limit.

Okay, I wasn’t actually that wayward, though perhaps my story about the Kamikaze shots had you thinking otherwise. At the end of a long [...]
