11 January - National Hot Toddy Day and National Milk Day in USA

A hot toddy is typically a mixed drink made of liquor and water with honey, herbs and spices, and served hot. It is believed that the hot toddy was invented to disguise raw Scotch, which in the 18th century was unpalatable.

It originally started in India (controlled by the British at the time) in the 1610s and was derived from the Hindi word “taddy,” which translated into a drink made with fermented palm sap. Fast forward to 1786, where the word became official and was defined as an alcoholic drink made with hot water, spices, and sugar.

Milk is one of the lowest-costing and more nutritionally-dense foods you can get today. It's packed with nine essential nutrients our bodies need, including protein, calcium, potassium phosphorous, riboflavin, and niacin. There are also important vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.
