I have a head cold today. You know the drill – runny nose, sneezing, sore body, fullness in the head.
Therefore I am drinking my special tea…
In the daytime the tea consists of fresh-squeezed lemon juice, honey and hot water.
When the sun goes down and I’m in my warm jammies and robe then I add ginger brandy to the mix. It’s sure to stop the cough and put me to sleep.
I don’t get colds very often so when I do I treat it like a holiday!
Lucky me, huh?

Yes – the ginger brandy helped me fall asleep and stay asleep. It’s strange to say but I do enjoy a good head cold every now and again!

Boy are you right Maxi! As the volume of the brandy went down – so did the knowledge that I was ever sick in the first place! Mmm, mmmm, good!

I rarely get sick so when I do I really live it up — with my fresh squeezed lemons, honey and yummy ginger brandy. Sad to say, it’s time to put the bottle away for another day!
