Graveyard shifts and airplane travel helped break down my immune system earlier this month. I’m sure the plane was filled with germs from dirty children.
I ended up with a horrible sore throat and I lost my voice.
One person at worked asked, “Do you really need to talk to do your job?”
She was lucky I was feeling sick.
I survived on cough drops and as much sleep as I can pack into my truncated days.
This hot toddy helped me sleep peacefully. The honey felt soothing on throat and the alcohol made everything blissful for a little period of time.
Queenkv’s Hot Toddy
[but you could use any vanilla-flavor tea. And if you don’t care about falling asleep, it can be caffeinated.]
[If you’re on a budget, Jim Bean’s works. I like the sweet smooth flavor of the Irish stuff.]
Mix hot water and the tea bag in a cup. Add a few shots of Jamesons (can be modified for your alcoholic preferences.) Mix in the honey. If you have lemon, add a squirt of lemon juice for some Vitamin C. Just before drinking, I also like eating a spoonful of honey. So good.
Enjoy. Let the healing begin.
