Steps
Steps
- 1Warm a heatproof glass or mug by filling it with hot water for a minute, then empty it.
- 2Press the cloves into the rind of the lemon slice so they stand around its edge.
- 3Bring the water to the boil and let it rest for a minute, to about 85°C — water straight off the boil flattens the whisky's aroma.
- 4Put the honey and lemon juice in the warm glass, pour in the hot water and stir until the honey has dissolved.
- 5Add the whisky, stir once and drop in the clove-studded lemon slice.
- 6Leave for 2 minutes so the cloves infuse, then serve hot.
