Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of honey and lemon juice to your taste.

For a stronger flavor, muddle a few slices of ginger in the mug before adding the other ingredients.

If you don't have whiskey, brandy or rum can be substituted.

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the whiskey and add a splash of apple cider vinegar for a similar tang.

Be mindful of alcohol consumption, especially when feeling unwell. This recipe is intended as a comforting drink, not a cure.
