CBD Hot Toddy

Toast To Your Health
It turns out your grandma was right – the hot toddy is the best natural cold busting cure-all. How exactly?
For starters, Whiskey is a great decongestant. The alcohol dilates the blood vessels, making it easier for your mucus membranes to tackles infection and fight off the growth of microorganisms. (Gross, but you asked!) Combined with Brothers Apothecary sleep-promoting, stomach-settling Golden Dream CBD Tea (which features organic Pacific Northwest Spearmint, orange peel, lemongrass, calming linden leaf and hawthorne berry and of course, all-natural hemp-derived CBD), a squeeze of lemon and a dash of Brothers Wild Rosin Honey, this CBD hot toddy is the perfect concoction for soothing your cold symptoms.
By the time you finish your hot toddy, you won’t only be breathing a bit easier but the alcohol and CBD will also start working their magic in the sleep department. Soon you’ll be drifting off the sleep – no nyquil haze needed.*
Health Benefits of Honey
In addition to tasting great, raw honey is an amazing source of antioxidants and has natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Honey actually naturally contains the antiseptic agent hydrogen peroxide. Raw honey is also chock full of phytonutrients, which are derived from plants and contain their own antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Honey can help soothe a sore throat and quiet a noisy cough. Finally, honey can also soothe digestive issues from ulcers to upset tummies.*
Why Add CBD?
One of the main ways you body is able to fight off a cold is by getting enough sleep and regenerating naturally. For decades, people have turned to the hot toddy as a natural remedy for easing the aches and pains so we can get some much needed shut-eye. CBD has also been used for centuries to soothe chronic pain, reduce inflammation and encourage deep sleep. Brothers caffeine-free Golden Dream CBD Tea was formulated especially with sleep in mind, to bring you sweet, golden dreams. Brothers Apothecary Wild Rosin Honey combines the natural antimicrobial, soothing properties of raw, ethically-harvested wildflower honey with CBD.*
Word To The Wise
As with any remedy that incorporates booze as a main ingredient, there is such a thing as too many hot toddies. While the splash of booze in one drink is great for falling asleep, clearing your sinuses and waking up refreshed, pounding toddy after toddy will leave you waking up feeling anything but refreshed. Stick to one or two, and you’ll be set.*
