How many of us women have gone to work sick? Seriously, probably all of us. We know the world does not stop just because we have a throat tickle.
Men, though, are the biggest babies when they are sick! That's why you have to make them a special drink like this.
This hot toddy uses tea to soothe, honey to coat scratchy throats, and alcohol to intoxicate.
It's not medicinal, technically, but I swear it makes a sicky feel better.
Here's the stuff you need to make it:
Hot Toddy
recipe from about.com
2-3 tbsp Jack Daniel's Honey (or brandy or rum)
squirt of lemon juice
tea bag
1 tbsp honey
1 cup hot water
Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave. In your serving mug put whiskey, honey, lemon and tea bag. Pour the water over all that stuff and let it steep for 2-3 minutes.
Serve to a sick dude in your life with a side of cough drops and tissues.
This is actually a great, relaxing cocktail even if you are not sick!
