Hot Toddy (The way Daniel makes it)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You will need:

Water
Honey (Or brown sugar -- white sugar if you're really pushed)
Whisky (Single Malt -- pref. 18yrs old or more) 
       -- Not necessary but useful
Fresh Ginger root
Cinnamon sticks
Ground nutmeg (or a nutmeg to grind)
Cloves

(Optionally: a small amount of mixed spice (Note this passes through the strainer))

Method:

In a pan, heat some water to simmering temperature.

Add the honey, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and simmer for 5
mins with a lid on (Add the mixed spice here too if you want).

Take the pan off the heat and add the whisky (about 1:5 Whisky:water)

Leave the pan (with lid on) for about 3 mins.

Now heat the pan until it boils (for 30 seconds or so) then remove
from heat and pour (through sieve or strainer) into mugs

Wait for about 2 mins, then drink.
