This is a great drink for cold winter nights when you need something soothing.

Put the water on for tea. Choose a good Scotch or Irish Whiskey while you wait for the water to boil. Choose a loose tea or teabag -- Earl Grey or English Breakfast would be nice -- and brew your tea to the strength you prefer.

In a teacup or coffee mug, pour in 5 parts tea, then your whiskey. Stir in a teaspoon of honey, and squeeze in some lemon juice or drop a slice of lemon into the cup.
