ROCK AND RYE TODDY

Steps:

• Pour the rye into a large wide-mouthed jar. Drop in the cinnamon and horehound candy. Place the cloves and dried citrus peel into a metal tea ball or in a tightly tied cheesecloth packet, then add to jar. Place the dried horehound in a separate tea ball or packet and add to jar. Pour in the cherry syrup, and close the jar. Remove the dried horehound after four hours. Continue to steep for at least two days, and up to a month. Taste periodically, and remove the cloves and citrus peels when the flavor is to your liking. The mixture can be topped off with additional whiskey as it develops.
• Combine 2 ounces of the mixture with 2 ounces very hot water in a heat-proof glass and stir gently. Twist lemon peel over and drop in.
