I love the abundant harvest, colors changing, brisk cool nights and my husband bringing home delicious fruit and freshly made apple cider, which is the perfect reason to start drinking one of my favorite drinks \u2013 the Hot Toddy. It is ideal after an invigorating fall hike, or when it is simply grey and raining out. This is my favorite drink that I start enjoying during autumn and throughout the winter. Grab a mug, next time you\u2019re snuggling up next to the wood stove.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/hot-toddy1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1438\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/hot-toddy1.jpg?resize=412%2C257\" alt=\"hot toddy\" width=\"412\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/hot-toddy1.jpg?w=840&amp;ssl=1 840w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/hot-toddy1.jpg?resize=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.knowyouroots.com\/ijustgottashare\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/hot-toddy1.jpg?resize=480%2C300&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Debbie\u2019s Hot Toddy Recipe<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">(makes 1 serving)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a01 mug full of <a style=\"font-style: normal;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redjacketorchards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red Jacket Apple Cider<\/a> (if you cannot find it, ask your local grocer to stock it or use another local apple cider)<\/li>\n<li>2 oz. of rum (the darker the better)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 inch of fresh ginger root<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Peel and chop ginger root, add all the ingredients to a saucepan, simmer for 5 minutes.
