The Hot Totty is a combination of whiskey and tea, brewed with lemon, honey and cloves, that when combine deliver an amazing sense of relief from the symptoms of a headcold. Sure, it might not actually do anything to fight the cold, but if you’re battling a viral infection, the only thing that will really help you is plenty of rest.
Over the years, I’ve perfected my own recipe for a Hot Totty, and it’s currently working wonders at relieving the tensions in my sinus as I battle my own viral monster. If you have an alternate recipe for a cold-battling Hot Totty, let us know in the comments section below.
Ingredients:
30mL Irish Whiskey
1 Slice of lemon
