Aloe Toddy Recipe

The aloe toddy is a recipe from the chareau company, makers of the most recognizable brand of aloe liqueur. We didnt really know what we were in for this one; hot aloe is not a flavor profile we could easily simulate in our minds. The original recipe from chareau called for either green or peppermint tea, and we tried it both ways. The mint tea version was all wrong: the collision between the two main flavors lent almost a burnt, muddy note that did no justice to either ingredient. Then we tried the green tea version, and epiphany struck With green tea, the drink is a lovely thing fragrant, sweet, almost candy-like without being cloying.
