American Flu
Second day of feeling lousy but starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. Amused myself with new 'flu strips' before placing them back on the shelves in favour of drinkable powders. Flu and hot drinks are forever ingrained in my psyche as a consumer under the weather. Quite ingenious an idea however, especially if you're on the run. For me personally though, nothing can beat the feeling of a hot drink that tastes like a visit to the hospital. Well maybe one: my grandmothers recipe for sore throats. For your pleasure (if you're over the age of 21 and of course please drink responsibly):
1. 2 parts Whiskey (Scots Whiskey – hence the 'e')
2. 1 part Cider Vinegar
3. 1 part boiling water
4. Squeeze of half a lemon
5. 1 tablespoon of honey
Does it work? Who cares? One of these bad boys will put you to sleep with the fairies for 8 hours.

Hell and Back
Sounds like a cure to me. I’ll try it next time! Get well soon.
My favorite… BUCKLEYS cold and cough…Neil…this thing will kick that cold in the groin (with both feet)…trust me. Try it.
you need some good old fashioned Panadol (Paracetamol) or maybe some Lemsip cant fine those here i reckon, but 5 pills ought to perk up your day.
This would appear to be a relative of the hot toddy. Here is how Mama Perotti makes it from the Polish tradition…
Combine
1. Weak tea
2. honey
3. cloves
4. cinnamon stick
5. 2 peppercorns
6. orange
in a saucepan.
When hot, add Vodka.
Oh, my. Your grandmother’s remedy sounds *lovely*. Am printing it out for future reference.
