Hot Toddy (Hot Scotch & Lemon)
The faintly smoky flavours of Scotch add spice to this warming cocktail which is great when you're feeling down with a cold or the flu

Tried your recipe and I am really sorry, but Difford's version is better. WAY too much clove. I couldn't taste anything else. Is your clove powder maybe less effective? I freshly ground them for mine and it is all I get. I am still sure the recipe is good, but I wouldn't be surprised if the cloves need to be reduced.

Hey, thanks for trying it out!
Yes, I did NOT use fresh ground clove. It was the pre-ground stuff you can buy for baking and probably already a few years old. So if you do it with fresh ground clove, you are most likely right and should use way less. However, I still prefere it over using hole cloves as I find that they give almost no flavor to the drink.
