Many years ago when I lived in my parents home I would often caught a cold in the winter. My dear old Dad would always offer me a hot honey and lemon. Dad would often suggest a little brandy in it too. At the time, I was underage to drink in a pub or bar and I would often let him know this information.
My Dad would simple say it was only for medicinal purposes. It was just a little alcohol to kill the germs. I didn’t ever have it with brandy but if you think it will help you then please go ahead. The hot honey and lemon is enough for me. Plus it won’t cure the cold or flu but I do find it helps me feel a little brighter. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Honey and Lemon with Shh Brandy maybe is a great way to help yourself if you are feeling unwell with a cold. It has been a favourite in my family for years. It’s also great to have one of these when the sore throat starts to kick in. These are easy to prepare so if you have got a Dad to make one for you it won’t be to difficult. They are great drank in bed or on the sofa too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
