As a child, when I was sick my mother had a range of special treatments. My favourite was when we had a sore throat and Mum would make hot honey and lemon drink for us. Oh it was good!
When I grew up and left home I had to self-medicate when I came down with an illness. I worked out just how to make hot honey and lemon drinks the way that I liked them. Mmmmmm!
Then a few years ago something clicked on in my brain. Why was I keeping such a yummy drink for the occasions when I was sick? It’s not as if it’s an actual medicine. It’s really just a relatively healthy (oops, don’t count the calories in the honey!) yummy hot drink. So I started “self-medicating” on a regular basis.
I give you my recipe for hot honey and lemon drink. Perfect for when its cold and wet outside and you want a little bit of sweet sunshine to warm you up on the inside.
Take your favourite mug, the juice of half a lemon, a heaped teaspoon of honey and boiling water.
Add all the ingredients to fill your mug.
Stir, sip and enjoy!
My husband use this trick for cold and caugh, too. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Tes,
Yes, it’s such a comforting drink isn’t it? Really soothes a sore throat or cough
Cheers
