Dependable Cold/Flu cure:-
1 Lemon (the fruit Not the sufferer!)
Honey (NOT YOU, sweetie)
Scotch Whiskey! (See there HAD to be a DECENT ingredient)
Hot water
Get a mug (NO, NOT YOU, ya pillock!) put in thje juice of a freshly squeezed lemon (Ooh ! That tickled!) - Did you know if you roll & press a lemon on a hard surface BEFORE cutting it, it will give you more juice!! Add a couple of Teaspoons of Honey and a LARGE (medicinal!) measure of Whiskey and top up with freshly boiled water. Drink the concoction whilst wrapped up warm in front of the fire watching TV (or what ever) Repeat every hour or so.
What happens is:-
The Lemon boosts the Vitimin C content in your body.
The Honey sweetens the lemon and is good for sore throats.
The Whiskey, raises the body temperature burning off the viruses, and increases the body metabolism so the vitimin C can work on the viruses/boost your immune system. It also gets you p*ssed so you feel better by making you forget your aches & pains (bit of a b*gger if you get a hangover) but psycologically its very beneficial!
Hope this helps........ Always works for me!!!
