1 cinnamon stick (each cup)

1 whole star anise (each cup)

4 parts boiling water

1 lemon wheel (each cup)

Preparation: combine agave nectar, spice and tequila in a heat resistant snifter or mug. Add boiling water. Squeeze lemon, drop it in, and store until agave nectar has melted.

“Lately I have been drawn to using cloves both in the kitchen and when making cocktails. It’s a great warming spice adopted by natives of present day Mexico with the arrival of the Spanish and can now be found in present day Mexican cuisine, including traditional holiday Ponche Mexicano and our riff on the Hot Toddy.” – Milagro National Ambassador, Jaime Salas
