Hot Toddy

With everyone being sick in our house it made me think of this. I generally leave out the whiskey unless right before bed and DO NOT USE IF GIVING TO CHILDREN UNDER 21 (or whatever your legal drinking age is)! I have used bottled lemon juice and it helped, just was strong. I know I rarely have lemons in my fridge unless it's summer time.

Lemon and honey both have properties to kill bacteria and soothe, the whiskey will help you sleep, which in its self is a great way to heal!

Hot Toddy

You will need…
-2 oz. bourbon or whiskey (optional, not recommended) - I prefer Jack Daniels ;)
-1 tablespoon of honey, or more to taste -4 ounces hot water
-1 teaspoon lemon juice
-1 slice fresh lemon (optional)

Directions
If you’re using it, pour the alcohol into a large mug. Add the honey, and leave the spoon in the mug. Pour the hot water into the mug, making sure it gets the last bit of honey off the spoon (remove spoon). Add the lemon juice and stir well. Place the mug in the microwave and heat until its nice and hot, but not boiling (about 1 minute.) Add the lemon slice, and enjoy.

If you are ill like we have been I hope you healing quickly. I think I may head back to bed as soon as the kids are on the bus.
