Mix it with tea, lemon and Scotch. Always worked for me.
My wife, Southeast Asian, mixes it with the former every cold and flu season. The addition of the latter works for me!
Bourbon (vasodilator) lemon (vitamin C), and honey
The Jamaican version is honey, lime, and rum. Either way, they both work!
My mom told me her mother’s cure all for what you got sick was a spoonful of whiskey in which she had horseradish soaking, making an extract, for all practical purposes.
When they were sick, she’d mix a spoonful of that with some honey and give it to the kids.
My mom said that it was nasty, but when you woke up the next morning, you were well. She said you also did not ever complain about now feeling well. Ever.
