Tips & Substitutions
For a milder flavor, consider reducing the amount of whiskey or substituting with herbal tea. Honey can be adjusted for sweetness according to your preference, or you can use agave syrup as a vegan alternative. If you're looking for a bit of spice, adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the flavor profile. Remember to stir well to dissolve the honey completely.
