	toddy tiramisu tisane toad-in-the-hole toddy Tokay grape; Tokay wine Toll House cookie Tom Collins Definition: [TOD-ee] An alcoholic drink--usually hot--made with whiskey, rum or brandy, very hot water, sugar, spices and lemon. This drink seems to have evolved from tari, the Hindu word used for the sap or juice of a palm tree. In Asia, this sap was often fermented to create an alcoholic beverage. British sailors picked up on the idea, which eventually evolved into the toddy. --Copyright (c) 1995 by Barron's Educational Series, from The New Food Lover's Companion, Second Edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst
