Okay, so I have a sore throat right now, and my sister made me this remedy... It doesn't taste very good, but it really helps. It numbs the throat a little bit, and it soothes the soreness.
1/2 - 1 shot whiskey
1/2 lemon juiced
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons honey
Wedge of lemon
Boiling water
In a mug, add half a shot to one shot of whiskey.
Add the juice of half a lemon.
Add sugar and honey, and stir the mixture.
Add the boiling water to fill the mug 3/4 of the way full, and stir.
You can float the wedge of lemon in your glass for a little bit to add more lemon if you'd like, if it starts to taste bitter, take the lemon wedge out.
Now, it's going to be hard to drink it, but you need to drink it warm. The warmth helps, and if you want you can take two 500 mg tylenol (paracetamol in Europe) right before drinking this remedy.
It seriously helps, my throat was cured for a bit, and it helped me sleep throughout the night. The whiskey helped me sleep.
