I like to add a slice of pear to my hot totties, it helps sweeten the drink more and looks so pretty… but it's optional just as the cinnamon stick and star anise is. They jazz up the drink, but if you are making a hot toddy recipe for a cough and don't feel well, just skip the garnishes and get to your healing drink!
