- 2 tablespoons Honey

In a small saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes to infuse the water with spice.
Remove the saucepan from heat, discard the cloves and cinnamon stick, and stir in the fresh lemon juice and honey until fully dissolved.

Garnish with a fresh lemon slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your warm and relaxing Lemon Toddy!
