Honey Sweetened Blueberry Hot Toddy

With its festive color, this honey-sweetened blueberry hot toddy recipe is the perfect drink to serve during the holidays (or any other time of the year). As the name suggests, it is sweetened with honey and healthy blueberries. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and I think it is the best remedy for those who are feeling under the weather or need a pick-me-up.
