[HPFGU-OTChatter] Tea,

[Denise R]

Does anyone else do this when they are ill?

You take a cup of tea.  (I use Lipton Honey and Lemon tea)

Add extra honey.
Lots.

I mean really drip it in--about half-inch to full inch on the bottom (be
advised, tea is best nuked in spare cup, and use the cup you plan to be
drinking from to play with the honey.

Add about one tablespoon lemon (ick).

Now the mixture in the cup is one inch deep, and a strange cloudy color, and
unappealing.

Add at least one shot of JD or BV.  Two if you're really sick.

Now pour the boiling tea on top of this mess.  Stir.

Hold your nose.

Drink straight without stopping.  If you stop, you WILL not want to start
drinking again.

Go to bed.  You're sick, anyway, so the sleep will help :) .

Wake up.  Sore throat gone.

Grins.

Yeah, it doesn't taste well, but it works.  Even works sans the Whiskey, but
it works better with.

(Reminded of recipe by the mention of Amaretto added to the tea in Scott's
message)
