I remember reading a while back in an issue of Gourmet, about how so many people today rely on sleeping medication and they postulate that one reason for this could be the gentlemanly pastime of nightcaps has gone by the wayside. A gentleman or lady would retire in the evening with mug full of hot toddy and soothe themself to sleep. I love soothing, warm nighttime drinks with a book before bed.
My favorite is Sleepytime Tea by Celestial Seasonings with honey, lemon, cinnamon and a belt of Glenlivet 12. Resplendent.
Does anyone else have a favorite nightcap, hot toddy recipe, spiced warm libation, straight snifter or other drink, they'd like to shave with the rest of us as the weather grows colder?
