I've got a cold, so I thought I'd post something fun that's also soothing for a cold.

1 mug of very strong, hot tea
1 squeeze of lemon (or a dash of lemon juice)
1-2 tsp. honey (to taste)
Options: A splash of rum (spiced rum is really nice in this)

Combine all ingredients and stir well to make sure the honey melts (it takes a lot of stirring). Sip slowly. The lemon is supposed to clear your throat, the honey is supposed to soothe it, the hot tea is also soothing and can help a stuffy head, and the rum is a general relaxant and can soothe minor aches and sometimes soothe a cough.
