The Closest Thing I Know to a Cure for the Common Cold "Hot Toddy" Recipe
Normally, I prefer to wake up in the morning and be healthy. Unfortunately, that is not always going to be the case, and being on a college campus increases the risk of catching a few extra germs here and there. So, on those rare days when you do wake up sickly, a hot toddy will warm you right up and get rid of that sore throat.
A Hot Toddy is a hot tea drink that is extremely easy to make, tasty and is a practical way to get rid of those cold symptoms quickly (when incorporated with conventional remedies of course). DISCLAIMER: This drink contains Bourbon or Whiskey and will more than likely make you a bit drowsy. I would recommend not using Fireball in this drink, as it is whisky (not whiskey), and for a myriad of other reasons.
