H.O.W. Hot Toddy

Like a lot of you ladies, I am just getting over a cold.  I swear I have felt like a walkin' sac of phlegm.   Shoulda bought stock in tissues a long time ago.  Anywho, my husband turned me on to the family Toddy recipe and I thought I'd share it with you Hands On Women out there.  I'm providing the measurements in ounces and spoons.  I don't know about you, but I don't have anything that measures in crap like 1/3 ounce.

H.O.W.® Toddy
1-1/2 ounces (3 tbsp) whisky of choice
1 ounce (2 tbsp) honey
1/3 ounce (2 tsp) lemon juice
3 ounces (6 tbsp) hot water
3 mint leaves
Note:  This fills a decent sized coffee cup about halfway

Combine the honey and lemon juice in your favorite feel-good coffee mug and heat in the microwave for thirty seconds.  Tear and squeeze a couple of small mint leaves into the mug and stir.  Stir in hot water and whisky.  Top with a mint leaf and enjoy.
Don't forget the tissues!
