A cockail and a cure-all. (Don't freak out when you get to the third ingredient - my mom didn't start making this for us until we were, like, in college.)juice of 1 whole lemon (just half if it's a really gigantic lemon)
honey to taste (I'm pretty impervious to acid so I use about 1 tbsp)
a good belt of whiskey or cognac
hot water to fill the mug
I like to throw the lemon husks into the mug - the hot water releases some of the oils in the zest. While it's hardly modern medicine, the lemon is a dose of vitamin C, honey is soothing for the throat and the booze is a helping hand to a good night's sleep.
