Make this winter warmer to the classic 'Burnley' 50:50 proportions and it can be a tad rich, hence the 1:2 proportions used here

Simple, yet beautiful. Squeezing the lemon wedge adds balance and it is like a honeyed Toddy, yet not at the same time. There's also the saffron, vanilla and peppermint characteristics teased out of the Benedictine.

I tried this with both 1:1 and 1:2. I can understand the appeal of the 1:1, provided it's not super sized. The 1:2 is also good, but it leaves me wanting to use some kind of mellow (herbal) tea instead of just plain hot water.

I used a twist of lemon rather than a wedge. Very nice.

It's really good, although too sweet for me.
