Creator Notes

Have confidence of this warmth drink as a variation of a caffè corretto (an espresso “corrected” with a shot of liquor) and even of a hot toddy that substitutes tea for solid coffee. It be under the impact of alcohol fleet, while aloof hot and even sooner than the sugar has had time to dissolve effectively. Not for the faint-hearted. —Emiko
