Do you need some hot tea? Or just some teabagging? *snort*
Hoping you feel better soon. Is tech going ok?

[monkeybard]

LOL
Tech is going fine as far as I can tell. I'm not the most observant at the moment. Someone asked me last night--immediately after we were done--how the run went for me, and I honestly didn't know.

i now swear by tea w/ lemon, honey, cayenne pepper and eucalyptus. i had a cold, and just when i was starting to feel horrid, i made a batch of this stuff, adn the next day felt MUCH better. this is for the general snotty head/sore throat/cough variety of sick.

It's been ages since I made lemon/peppermint tea with honey and cayenne! Thanks for the reminder! I think I'll brew me up a batch in a bit.

Market Spice tea with honey and scotch. Works for me.

[monkeybard]

I know I have scotch. Not so sure about Market Spice tea. I'll have to look.

the "recipe" i got is this: Makes a thermos full.
2 cups water + 8 teabags of whatever you want (I like Traditional Medicinals Red Raspberry Leaf Tea...what woman doesn't need more iron?)
1 cup honey
1 cup lemon juice
4 drops eucalyptus essential oil
a bunch a dashes of cayenne pepper
2 shots whiskey (optional)

boil water, steep the tea for about 15 minutes, add rest, mix well and drink when it's as hot as you can stand. it'll make your nose run, but it burns out all the bad stuff. ;)

That make a lot, with a lot more sweet than I want. I brewed up a big mug of Dry Desert Lime and Moroccan Mint teasans ('cause that's the closest I have) and stirred in a spoonful of honey and several dashes of cayenne. Maybe I'll add a splash of whiskey or scotch. Can't hurt, right? ;)

oh yeah, it is pretty sweet. but i like it that way. tweak to taste, i'm pretty sure will work. ;)

[monkeybard]

I have all the fixin' ready to make a thermosful to take with to rehearsal tonight. Just have to boil the water and put everything together. :)

It's good with a shot of whiskey in it, too. :o)

Sending healing hugs your way!!

I made a batch of cold killer tea and took it with me last night. Sadly, it only worked as long as it lasted and I ran out by the interval. *sigh* Fortunately my Mama-san brought me chicken soup this morning. Maybe that will do the trick. Nothing else seems to be working.
