Scottish recipe against a Sore Throat

by Dr. Ellen Schmidt
(Aberdeenshire, Scotland)

Working as a large animal veterinary surgeon in all weather conditions in the rough countryside of Aberdeenshire, I have been affected with all forms of sore throats. My lovely farmer clientele, suffering from the very same symptoms, told me dozens of recipes to enhance the pain.... one worked particularly well:


Portion size: 1 big mug

Ingredients:

water
1-2 Tablesp. apple vinegar
a good shot of Scottish whiskey
1 Tablesp. honey


Method:

Boil water in kettle.
In meantime put vinegar,honey and whiskey into the mug.
Pour hot, boiled water onto it, stir and drink as hot as possible..... and enjoy!
