When You Get Sick With a Cold Try This

Hot tea, honey, lemon and a shot of whisky, the honey soothes your throat, the lemon kills the germs, the tea helps your cough and the whisky relaxes you! This is old school medicine that dates way back.

It works

Caren Krutsinger February 20, 2019 at 11:24 AM The only thing I would have trouble with is the whiskey. Is there anything else? I do not like the taste at all, and yes, you are probably right. This is no doubt from the Farmer's Almanac, and everything in there works. Gershon Wolf February 20, 2019 at 9:21 PM Just a teeny-tiny shot will do the trick. (I also am not much for whiskey---except when I've got a stiff cold). ~ gw Bobby May February 20, 2019 at 11:56 AM It's kind of like Nigh-Quail which has alcohol in it, if your sick the taste out weights the cold, lol
