Hot Toddy Honey

A Cosy Jar of Spiced Honey

When the weather turns cold, nothing beats a warm mug with something golden and spicy stirred in. This honey is infused with cinnamon, cloves, star anise, ginger and lemon zest, and it's made for exactly that: a spoonful in hot water, a cup of black tea, or a hot toddy with a nip of whisky for the adults.

It's one of the simplest gifts in this collection. There's no cooking, only a bit of patience. One safety note up front: honey must never be given to babies under 12 months. I'll remind you again on the label.

Suits a winter Christmas best, though it's also lovely stirred into iced tea in a summer one

Making It With the Kids/Grandkids

The hot water and the peeler are for adults, but there's a lot for children to do.

• Ages 3 to 5: drop the whole spices into the jar and stir the cooled honey with an adult's help.

• Ages 6 to 9: count out the cloves and star anise, decorate the label and tie on the ribbon.

• Ages 8 and up: pour the honey with an adult, and write the gift tags.

• Keep children away from: the hot water, the oven and the whisky. And remember, honey isn't for babies under 12 months.
