DR. PAT'S HOT TODDY COLD REMEDY
Okay, so our family doctor suggested this instead of prescription cough syrup for relieving the cold symptoms of the ADULTS in our family (he of course, did NOT suggest it as a CURE). He says the whisky helps you sleep while the honey and lemon soothe your throat. I'm pretty sure it works, but in the end we really don't care because we love this warm drink when we aren't feeling well. Even sometimes when we are feeling well! UPDATE: Our beloved Dr. Pat passed away November 19,2010 at the age of 59 from Melanoma so now this recipe with all of it's great reviews is even more special to our family. We will miss you forever Pat!!!

Tips:
- Fresher Ingredients: Use the freshest available ingredients, especially citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, to ensure the strongest flavor and maximum vitamin C content.
- Quality Honey: Opt for raw, unfiltered honey, as it retains more nutrients and beneficial enzymes than processed honey.
- Boil Water, Not Honey: Bring water to a boil before adding honey. Boiling the honey can destroy its beneficial properties.
- Infuse with Spices: Enhance the flavor of your toddy by infusing it with warming spices like cinnamon, cloves, or star anise.
- Adjust Sweetness: Tailor the sweetness of your toddy to your preference by adjusting the amount of honey added.
- Serve Warm: Serve your toddy warm to help soothe a sore throat or alleviate cold symptoms.
