I never really thought of it as something that need a recipe. You pour some
dark rum into a mug, add hot (boiling) water until it's tea coloured, add
sugar or honey to taste and a small dab of butter, preferably unsalted.

I find this a great home remedy for just about whatever ails you. I have been
suffering from a bit of a cold for the past few days and had a very restless
night because if the coughing. I got up and made myself a nice stiff hot
toddy, went back to bed cough free and slept for hours. I had pre-emptive one
last night, had a good nights sleep and the congestion is almost gone. It's
cheaper than cough syrup and tastes a whole lot better.
