How to make it
Brew the Base
- Place the rooibos tea bag into your glass mug and pour over 150ml of freshly boiled water. Let it steep for 3 minutes, then remove and discard the bag.
Assemble the Toddy
- Add the gingerbread syrup, fresh lemon juice, and dark rum directly to the hot tea.
- Stir gently with a spoon until the syrup is fully dissolved and integrated.
Garnish & Serve
- Float the clove-studded lemon wheel on top and drop in the cinnamon stick to serve immediately while steaming hot.
Garnish
1 cinnamon stick and a fresh lemon wheel studded with 3 whole cloves floating on top
Make it alcohol-free
Omit the dark rum and add an extra 45ml of hot brewed rooibos tea, or swap the spirit for 45ml of an alcohol-free spiced dark spirit alternative.
