Irish cough (and everything else) remedy... Take a lemon and slice it into quarters. Take a few cloves and stick them into the lemons, "studding" the lemons. Put them in stoneware (or otherwise heat proof) mug with a teaspoon or tablespoon (depending on your taste) of sugar. Add a solid shot of boiling water and a solid shot of Irish whiskey (Powers is my go-to for this). Stir, and drink while it's still steaming.
Makes you feel better if you're sick. have 3 or 4, and it makes you feel better whatever is happening.
Hah! I'll have to give this a try! Don't have any Irish (or otherwise) whiskey at the moment, but it certainly sounds good!
That said, I think I've got something closer to the flu. None to pleased about it, since I'm self-employed and work from home, I don't get sick leave. But I can bail for the day early!
