Warm as a Toast
2-1/2 fl. oz. (5 Tbs.) bourbon
1 fl. oz. (2 Tbs.) honey
3 small lemon wedges
3 whole cloves
Put a kettle of water on the stove to boil.
Put the bourbon and honey in a coffee mug. Squeeze the juice from two wedges of lemon into the mug. With a knife, poke 3 holes in the rind of the remaining lemon wedge and push the cloves into the holes. Pour 4 fl. oz. (1/2 cup) boiling water into the mug and stir well to dissolve the honey. Add the clove-studded lemon wedge and let steep for a couple of minutes before drinking.
