Hot Toddy

I got this recipe from a friend of mine. Her husband vouches for its medicinal value against the common cold.

Mix:

a tablespoon or two of honey (according to taste)
boiled water in a mug so that the mug is almost full

Add:

a shot or so of whisky (i just filled the rest of the mug)
juice from half a lemon

Stir.

An alternative I've heard of is to use hot tea instead of plain hot water.
