Cold Relief, Searching for the Best Hot Toddy Recipe

Hot Toddy

I have never actually made myself  a hot tottie, but after listening to a close friend of mine swear it helps, I thought I would try one. At this point I will try anything to find relief from this nasty cold.

The recipe I will try follows;

• 2 ounces whiskey
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 ounces tea
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice 
• 1 slice fresh lemon (optional)

Directions:

1. Place the whiskey in a large microwave safe mug.
2. Add the honey.
3. Pour the hot water into the mug over the spoon you used for the honey to get off the last little drops.
4.  Add the lemon juice and stir well.
5. Place the mug in the microwave for 1 minute or until it is piping hot, but not boiling.
6. Add the lemon slice and serve.

I would love to hear of any other tried and true cold remedy recipes as I could use all the help I can get.
