When I feel miserable with a cold I treat myself with
my own version of a Hot Toddy. I'm not sure it is effective at all as a cure
but it does tend to make you forget your woes for a wee while.
Ingredients:
Juice of a lemon
2 spoonfuls of honey
Big splosh of brandy or cognac (you might prefer
whiskey)
2 soluble aspirins
Hot water
Dear Carole, This does sound like it would be soothing after the hustle and bustle of this time of year. xo Catherine
ReplyDeletethere was a show on American TV called "The Beverly Hillbillies". I think the Grandmother made something a bit stronger, but she would say "it might not sure what ails me, but it makes having it a pleasure!"...I think your hot toddy would do the same!
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Mom use to give us equal parts honey, lemon and whiskey for a cough suppressant and I loved it! didn't really stop the cough though.
