Cowboy Bear Ninja

The winter in New York has been shockingly long, but today we saw our first sun. It was the first day I walked outside and really felt happy, like I didn't need a coat, and could just focus on the fact that I was out of the apartment, breathing fresh air. I ate leftovers for dinner - Greek food I made on Tuesday night - and settled into bed with a hot toddy. Heaven.

I'd like to share my recipe for this hot toddy, because it's the icing on my Thursday night. We got this recipe from our friends Adrian, Miguel and Matt. This hot toddy is called the Cowboy Bear Ninja.

1.5 shot bourbon (we like Jameson here at home)
1 tablespoon of cream honey
1 green tea bag (or chamomile)
kettle of hot boiling water

Pour the whiskey into a large mug. Fill with hot water. Stir in the generous spoonful of honey. Last, add the teabag and let steep.

This, my friends, is hello and goodnight.
