Cindi & Jeff's Famous Energy Raising Hot Toddy!
I promise, this one will raise your vibration effortlessly! I will give you the exact recipe and “ritual” to do so.... all while making a delicious Hot Toddy!!
Let's Get Started!
Grab your favorite hot chocolate mug, coffee cup, teacup or chalice!
Ingredients:
- Purified Water
- Lemon
- Cinnamon sticks (can substitute ground cinnamon)
- Simply Apple Juice or Organic Apple Juice
- Whole Cloves
- Bulleit Bourbon- the STAR of the show!
Let’s Make Your Hot Toddy!
Heat your water in a pot on the stove and remove just before it boils.
Cut a nice thick lemon slice, remove seeds
Rimmed Glass (optional but fun!): If you have ground cinnamon, pour a little on a small plate. Run the lemon slice around the rim of your glass, turn your glass over and dip in the cinnamon!
Stick 4 whole cloves into the lemon slice. It will look like a fun lemon pinwheel!
Add a cinnamon stick to your mug and the lemon slice with cloves. If you do not have cinnamon sticks, sprinkle the ground cinnamon over your lemon slice.
Once the water is ready, pour over the lemon, cloves and cinnamon. Fill your glass halfway. This will smell wonderful as it all begins to merry and steep!
Add a shot (or two) of bourbon and a shot or two of apple juice to your glass with the lemon.
Give it a stir and sip away!
You can reuse the same lemon slice and cinnamon stick for your next cup!
2 Energy Raising Exercises While You Make Your Hot Toddy!
1. Energy Raising Gratitude Exercise
Choose at least once ingredient to give gratitude for from the recipe list. For instance, I will thank the lemon for the multitude of uses it brings! I will keep the lemon peel & make “lemon zest” for future recipes, OR I will add the peel to my dried hand blend of resins, flowers, herbs & crystals, OR use it in my skincare & cleaning concoctions.
You can only imagine the list of “Thank You’s” I have for the BULLIET BOURBON!
1. Energy Raising Cleansing Exercise
Close your eyes, inhale deeply and exhale do this once or twice. Deep breathing is known to calm down the nervous system, reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, help with weight loss and many more benefits. Now hold the lemon to your nose keeping your eyes closed. Take another DEEP inhale of the lemon imagining that the lemon is giving you a spring cleaning” of sorts. Cleaning & clearing each and every cell in your body, with each breath in, and clearing your mind and any negative thoughts patterns with each exhale, washing it all away! You can’t help but feel wonderful after this!!
