I’m at home nursing a flu with green tea and honey. Since living in Europe I’ve discovered the medicinal qualities of a Hot Toddy (which for me means forgetting how miserable the flu has me feeling after a few mugs and strangely makes me break out into song until I fall asleep).
I’m going to make this cocktail called the Medicine Man to see what effect it has on me in comparison for purely medicinal purposes 😀
