I haven’t got a cold(touch wood) but hot milk honey and whisky knocks me out like a sledgehammer. And I had a port and brandy over Christmas, it was lovely.

Does nobody else put cloves in their hot toddy? I thought a clove studded lemon slice was an essential ingredient.

Cloves, lemon, honey, slice fresh ginger if you have it. I'm renowned for my toddys.

My granny (dead many years - I am her age now IYSWIM) told me that it does, and even if it doesn't, drink enough of it and you won't care about the cold.

People say it is, but I find it makes me feel worse.
