hot lemonades

Since Sunday, I've been dragging with a cold. Actually, it's only 40 percent of a cold at best — I'm winning the battle! — and I know it's all because of my mom's hot lemonades. Growing up, the cure for colds and sore throats in my house was always my mom's hot lemonade. It's so simple. Boil water. Squeeze of one fresh lemon. A spoonful of honey. When I've had a sore throat, this drink is the one thing that soothes my scratchy throat. It's also works miracles with colds, the flu, days when you feel achy, and I like to make one if I'm feeling in a winter funk. Make a hot lemonade for your love who's under the weather, and you'll be a hero. (Dan always get a hot lemonade when he's sick now.) So on Monday, I stocked up on organic lemons and faced my cold armed with my mom's magic cure. Today I'm feeling almost 90 percent. What's your go-to cure when you come down with a cold?
