Sniff, cough, sputter

Well, for five days I have been sneezing, coughing, enduring an ear ache and sore throat, and having the first cold I have had in about ten years.

I am taking hot lemon stuff, called Lemsip.


I would much rather be having this.

2 ounces whiskey (we use Jack Daniels)
1 tablespoon honey
4 ounces water (hot from the tap)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (we use the stuff in the plastic lemon)
1 slice fresh lemon (if we don't have this we don't use it) (optional)
Directions:

1
Place the whisky 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.
