For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white. If you don't have a heat-resistant glass, pre-warm your glass with hot tap water before adding the boiling water. Adjust the amount of whiskey to your preference, but remember this is a potent drink! Experiment with a dash of Angostura bitters for added complexity.
