Cold Remedy
It’s cold, and no doubt it’s going to get colder. Some of my colleagues are currently enjoying temperatures of -35°C, and will no doubt pick up the odd cold along the way. With this in mind I thought that I’d post my favourite cold remedy, courtesy of an old mailing list:
Ingredients
- 1 Lemsip max strength sachet or similar, lemon recommended
- 1 soluable vitamin C tablet, lemon flavour preferable, orange at a pinch. Go for 1000mg Vitamin C, or the 500m Vitamin C/Zing tablets if you can find them
- 1/2 Lemon
- Hot water
- Honey to taste
- Mug
Preparation
- Empty the sachet into a mug
- Add soluable tablet
- Squeeze half a lemon in
- Pour in hot (not boiling) water. Cue massive frothing – stand well back!
- Add honey to sweeten
Serving suggestion
Drink fast – it’s got a kick, but won’t be pleasant!

Aside from probably overdosing you on Vitamin C, sounds like it’d work well!!
However I feel as though I must post the old traditional:
Ingredients :
– A good measure of whiskey (preferably a decent scotch, none of this tenesee crap – single malts the best, but it’s understandable if you don’t want to waste it). – 2tsp of sugar. – A slice of lemon squeezed. – Some boiling water.
Preparation:
– Whiskey first. – Sugar next. – Lemon next. – Water finally. (looks like a scripting language!)
Drink when it stops scalding your mouth!
