Heat it a good sipping temperature for a nice hot toddy.
My family Dr. says recipes like this are the best for warming up the chest and suppressing a cough at the same time (honey or heavy dissolved sugars coat the throat and cover up the itchy-scratchies, and the citrus helps kill any bugs.)
Hope these drinks help you get over your cruddies.
Otherwise, the recipe is the almost the same one that my great-grandmother used. Hers used a half-pint of bourbon, a few bits of pepper mint, etc., and several crushed Mamou Beans. Of course, Grand-dad had to be the one to take a swig out of the bottle to make room for the active ingredients.

My recipe excludes the peppermint and honey.

Rotten job, but somebody's gotta do it...
Seems legit.
Should work well with a couple of aspirins and a hot shower, followed by a Power Nap.
Hope you're feeling better, Angel.
