Alcohol As Medicinal Remedy - #1

This is #1 in a series of occasional articles.

For this recipe you will need:

One nasty cough, ideally coupled with an unpleasant cold
One bottle of cheap Brandy
One large mug
One bottle of Tesco organic honey
One tea spoon
One kettle
Tap water

Boil the tap water in the kettle, and allow it cool for a few minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of honey into the mug , then add 2 teaspoons of brandy.

Then decide that, actually, 2 teaspoons doesn’t look like a lot, so chug some more brandy in for good measure. Top up with the hot water, until the mug is full.

Stir, and taste. After tasting, decide that, actually, there’s not enough honey in there, and it’s quite possible that, by adding more honey, there’d be potential for more brandy. Add an additional 1.5 teaspoons of honey, followed by an additional chug of brandy.

Check brandy bottle, marvel at how much brandy you’d actually thrown into the mug. Shrug, wander off into lounge to continue watching Top Gear and consume beverage.

Wonder about halfway down the mug if this was a good idea. Consume entire contents of mug, stagger off to bed, ideally falling over a number of strategically placed kids’ toys as you go.

Share and Enjoy:

I personally prefer a good quality brandy - or even whisky â€“ but nothing over 12 years old! I know that if you have a cold you can't really taste anything, but you may as well give you body a much deserved treat. And if you're going to go to the effort of giving your body a treat, you should not be using tap water! just think about all the impurities in it - and this is supposed to make you better?

Of course, you could just do without the tap water, the honey and just drink the good-quality brandy (or whisky) â€“ no point diluting it :)

Sounds like a great plan.

Alternatively, try this one.

Take water, kettle, mug, honey, brandy and chocolate (favourite variety).

Bring all into the vicinity of the phone,

Call for Pizza, drink brandy, have chocolate for afters then abandon the rest as worthy but not quite right.
