While reading the historical cozy mystery Murder At Mallowan Hall by Colleen Cambridge, it was mentioned numerous times that the main character, Phyllida Bright, enjoyed her tea and the occasional sip of whisky. The story is set in Devon, England in 1930. I happened to read the book in January. So the combination of reading this particular historical cozy mystery in frigid weather meant a warm drink was in order. Ladies and gents, I present to you the English Hot Toddy.
