Peanut Free Vegan Hot Toddy
Warm, whiskey-forward, and laced with the gentle sweetness of maple syrup, this hot toddy is the kind of drink that makes a cold evening feel genuinely cozy. Fresh lemon juice cuts through the richness and gives it a bright, citrusy lift that balances every sip. The cinnamon stick and whole cloves steep right in the mug, releasing a spiced aroma that makes the whole experience feel a little luxurious. Every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination anxiety — just a clean, comforting drink you can make in minutes. It's also fully plant-based, leaning on maple syrup instead of honey for that touch of sweetness. Whether you're winding down after a long day or soothing a scratchy throat, this is the kind of simple, from-scratch recipe that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.
