Honey Echinacea Soother

4 whole cloves
1 echinacea or chamomile tea bag
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp. each: honey and lemon juice, or to taste.

Place cloves, cinnamon and tea bag in a mug. Fill 3/4 full with boiling water and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove cloves, cinnamon stick and tea bag; stir in honey and lemon juice. Makes 1 serving.

If you have a rotten cold (What other kind of cold is there?) and want to sleep better, add 2 Tbsp. whiskey or brandy to each mug. Personally, I have never measured the whiskey nor brandy, just poured some in.
