I'm out of cinnamon sticks but do have ground cinnamon. How much would you use?

If your using this drink as a cold remedy, I would recommend substituting the sugar for local honey. Makes a big difference in the immune boosting properties.

Someone told my mother that a hot toddy was the perfect thing for a cold. I tried this recipe out on her, only using honey instead of sugar, and now its all she drinks! She refuses to take cold medicine. I'm very suspicious of her chronic cough though. Thanks again.

I made this for Christmas Spelling Bee game in the Photo Forum. I had tagged it and came down with a scratchy throat. This cleared it right up! I really liked the cinnamon and lemon. Thanks!
