Eating, drinking and tasting my way around the District.

a pretty decent hot drink

My immune system has not been my friend lately, after 2 weeks of a painful ear infection, I’ve now come down with a cold, and with just weeks to go before my biggest work event of the year… I’m not into it. 

I’ve had fun putting hot toddy’s together just before bed, but tonight G sprout suggested something new. It came out to be warm, spicy and soothing, give it a shot the next time you’re sick.

G-sprout’s hot molassas: 

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp dark molasses
  • cinnamon stick, star anise, whole cloves 
  • 1/2 oz dark spiced rum 
  • tea bag

Mix water with molasses in a sauce pan and bring to boil, throw in cinnamon, anise and cloves. Meanwhile place tea bag and rum in a mug. Once hot liquid has come to a boil pour through a strainer into a mug. 

Enjoy!
