Harissa Hot Toddies

• 2 cups water
• 1 1/2 inch ginger root, thinly sliced
• 1 lemon , halved
• 1 harissa spice bundle
• 1 tablespoon harissa simple syrup
• 1 tablespoon honey, to taste
• 4 ounces bourbon
• lemon slices, as a garnish
• for harissa spice bundles (per bundle)
• 2 dried chilies
• pinch of caraway seeds
• pinch of coriander seeds
• pinch of cumin seeds

1. For harissa spice bundles, place ingredients into a square piece of cheesecloth and tie tightly with twine, so no seeds can escape.
2. Add water and ginger slices to a medium saucepan. Squeeze lemon juice into the saucepan, and add the lemon halves to the liquid afterward. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add harissa simple syrup and one harissa spice bundle and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture has enough ginger taste and spice to your liking. Remove from heat and strain the liquid. Add bourbon and honey to taste and pour into two mugs. Garnish with lemon slices. Enjoy!
