Ingredients

45 ml Scotch, Irish whiskey or bourbon
3 tsp Honey
15 ml fresh lemon juice, plus a slice
150 ml just-boiled water
1 Cinnamon stick
2 Cloves

Method

Boil the kettle. Stick the cloves into the lemon slice so they do not float around.
Put the honey, lemon juice and cinnamon stick in a heatproof mug and pour in the hot water. Stir until the honey dissolves.
Add the whisky and the clove-studded lemon slice and let it steep for 2 min so the spices perfume the drink.
Taste and add a little more honey or lemon, then sip while warm.

Tips

Alcohol does not cure a cold and can dehydrate you; for a soothing drink when you are unwell, skip the whisky and keep the honey, lemon and spices.
Never give honey to babies under 1 year old.
