Hot Toddy Recipe for Colds and Sore Throat

Just when I thought I was totally over being sick?

It's back!!!!

ARGHHHH!

I am so over it.

I truly believe Brad and I have been passing this back and forth to each other.

This time it's in my chest and I'm coughing like no tomorrow.

I finally bit the bullet and went to Urgent Care today and got a Z-pack but of course, it's not instant.

I drank Thera-Flu when I got home but when I laid down to sleep the coughing started and wouldn't stop.

Brad got hung up at work so I called my Mom and she suggested the old fashioned 'hot toddy' for a remedy.

For the record:

I.HATE.WHISKEY.AND.BOURBON

But, was willing to try anything.

I googled a recipe and found Dr. Pat's Hot Toddy Cold Remedy.

We happened to have a mini bottle of Beam in the house leftover from football season.

I combined it with honey, lemon and water.

Popped in the microwave for a minute.

 Garnished it with a lemon slice when out.

 Wah-la.

Just read that this concoction is 206-calories.

Really?

 For the record, it wasn't terrible but far from good because I despise whiskey.

But, it seems to be helping.

My throat feels better and my cough has settled down.

(by the way - I had just got in from walking the dog in 30-degree weather which is why I have a hat on inside)

We'll see where it goes from here!

I have to get better over this long holiday weekend because I travel back to California for work next week.

What are your 'get well' remedies?

I need all the advice I can get!

Sucky Friday the 13th for me!
