I mean, is there anything better than an end-of-the-night aperitif? A slow you down, relax you night cap?

Nope, well this is where the sake toddy comes into play.

Like the hot toddy, it’s a tea based drink, spiked with lemon, honey and sake.

Just make sure you use a sake that can be heated without losing it’s flavor. Suigei "tokubetsu junmai" is what I use, from tippsy sake.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp honey

juice of 1/2 lemon

2oz sake

6oz green tea

Directions:

Add honey, lemon and sake to a coffee/tea mug.

Top with hot green tea.
