A hot toddy is really good if you've got a cold or sore throat.

1.) Place 1 cinnamon stick, 3-6 cloves, a spoonful of honey (or to taste), and a slice of lemon in a teacup.

2.) Pour 3 parts boiling water into the cup and allow to steep for 5 minutes.

3.) Add 1 part bourbon (or other whiskey - not scotch) to teacup and stir.

4.) Grate some nutmeg over the drink and enjoy.

* This drink may not cure your ailment, but it will make you feel 100% better.
