Old Fashioned Lemon Tea.
7 Answers
When I was a child my grandmother used to make a big jug of lemon tea when anyone had a cold. I'm not sure how she did it but involved slices of lemon and sugar in a big jug and hot water poured on it. She then left it to steep on the hearth by the fire.
I want to make some for my husband who has a terrible cough and cold but I'm not sure of the quantities and how long it will keep after it's made.
I thought I could make it without the sugar and then add honey to a cupful before warming in the microwave.
Does anyone know anything about old fashioned lemon tea?

Cut a thick slice of lemon and put it in a mug. Pour over a spoonful of honey, and a slug of Jamiesons whiskey. Mash together and pour over boiling water and give the whole thing a good stir. Leave to cook slightly, drink as hot as you can stand it. I promise you, it's the best cure for a cold that I know, and it still works reasonably well without the whiskey xx
