  1. We call it a Hot Toddy around these parts. It was standard treatment for our worst colds. I didn't know about inhaling the steam, however. We would drink it, sweetened with some honey, and bundle up in blankets afterward to "sweat the cold out." It does work.
     
  2. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! It really breaks up the gunk and got me breathing easier!
     
  3. Bless you for this recipe!!! : ) Tylenol Sinus, hot wraps, sinus drops, Tomato Tea, . . . nothing touched THIS sinus headache...until this...just inhaling the fumes cleared my sinuses, the drink itself, well...let's just say I feel no pain whatsoever..... : ) ...now I lay me down to SLEEP!!! Thanks SO much!!!
     
  4. I have a major sinus problem right now - caught it from somewhere and was feeling pretty sorry for myself. My face felt like it might explode and I had a major headache, and couldn't breathe through my nose..... I found this recipe and whipped it up. I breathed it in for about 10 minutes and can breathe! My headache is GONE! So is that weird "foggy" feeling. I then strained out the bits from the muddling cuz they were all floating around in there, and am reclining having myself a tasty warm drink! It's delicious! I feel so much better (NO, I'm not drunk on the bourbon!!!)! Thank you sooo much for posting this. The spices really help I think.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm finally posting recipes after years of using this site. I want to be able to access treasured recipes without lugging a ton of books south with me when I move to Lake Chapala in Mexico. Recently retired after 35 years teaching Algebra to 8th graders. I learned to cook at my mother's knee (and Julia Child expanded my vision). She was a 1st generation Swedish-American. Christmas was when we immersed outselves in the Swedish culture and food. Many of the recipes I have recently posted are from her hand-written notes and recipes. My one real regret is that she would never write down the "juice" she used to make pickled herring. Favorite cookbook? I have over 100 or so. I love reading recipes. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
