Usually this means the winter is a cyclical journey from one cold, to another sore throat, to congestion, to more aches, and finally to fevers.
One of his favorite ways to feel better from colds, congestion, and sore throats are hot toddies. He heard about this from an old co-worker of his, and I've now got a "recipe" down pat.
mug of hot water1 slice lemon
1 cinnamon stick
spoon of honey
1-2 shots Scotch
cloves, optional
Boil water, or put a mug of water in the microwave until hot. Add the remaining ingredients and let steep for 2-3 minutes. Sip slowly, making sure to enjoy the aromatic steam under your nose.
Instant joy to those with weak immune systems!P.S. The Dollar Tree has a big ass bag of like 50 cinnamon sticks for a buck!
P.P.S. I told Johnny I was putting that pic on the blog.
P.P.P.S. I think he thought I was kidding.
P.P.P.P.S. I wasn't.

I think it's CUTE, course I love my nerd boys so I would.
I'm not drinking because someone has me one diet :D
This is exactly what I need to battle the cold I have. Think I will make it before bed :)
haha Yes Laura nerd boys rule! :) If it's any consolation I haven't partaken in any alcohol either.
@Tracy I hope you feel better! :)
This is interesting. Should try it someday. Thanks for sharing.
OMG, our men are kindred spirits. My husband Dennis LOVES these toddies (actually made with Glenlivet too) when he's got the sniffles. Feel better soon Johnny!!
I still have a stuffy nose so I might have to make one of those tonight!
Ha! Love that he thought you were joking about putting him on the blog! :D
Haha, funny picture :)
I've never had a hot toddie like that, I always thought any sort of hot drink with booze in it was a hot toddie haha
Feel better Johnny! My grandma used to make those
well ok I guess then it's alright for HIM to drink :)
@Roz! How funny! I've also made it for him w/ Brandy, but he prefers the Scotch.
@Errign, I think you're technically right! It's one of those versatile "recipes" nobody makes the same.
