To make a Hot Toddy!. This is a great drink when you are sick!.
A Hot Toddy Cold Remedy
50ml/2 fl oz!./3!.5 tablespoons of strong alcohol such as:
Whisky - You don't need to blow your best single malt on this, and you probably wouldn't be able to appreciate it anyway!. A supermarket blend will do just fine; the sort that in old cowboy films would be called 'gulpin' whisky'!.
50ml/2fl oz!./3!.5 tablespoons boiling water
Half a teaspoon of honey
A dash of lemon and a couple of cloves (both optional)
Give this recipe to somebody else!. If you have a partner, flatmate, parent, sibling or responsible offspring present - get them to go to the kitchen while you curl up under a blanket - you're poorly, remember!?
Place the alcohol in a container and stir the honey into the whisky!.
Add the boiling water (pouring it over the teaspoon to clean off the last of the honey)!.
At this stage you may wish to pop it into a microwave to make sure it's really piping hot!. Make sure the toddy is in a microwavable container and cook for no more than a minute or until it's fizzing and you can smell alcohol1!.
Add lemon and cloves to taste!.
A hot toddy should be sipped very slowly allowing it to soothe your sore throat, clear your nose and relax your aching muscles!. Clutching a thick whisky tumbler of steaming liquid looks and feels great, but, perhaps because of the volatile nature of the alcohol, it goes cold really quickly, and a cold hot toddy is pretty nasty!. A pottery mug holds the heat better, but not by much!. Best of all is one of those insulated mugs, preferably with a lid, which keeps it warm down to the last sip!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because lemon zest or lemon rind is sometimes used, whether just rubbing the rim of the glass or dropping it in- somewhere along the way someone may have mistaken lemon skin for wedge of lemon!.
