Toddie
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This drink used to be attributed with healing properties: it perfectly stimulates blood circulation, warms the body, and induces relaxation—exactly what you need after a tiring workday, especially when coming home after a walk in the rain or snowstorm. Ingredients can be found in any kitchen; the main thing is to add a little alcohol.
