Thank you, Dad...

...for making lemon-honey-tea for me when I had a tickly throat 25+ years ago.  My John has been coughing non-stop and just couldn't sleep tonight.  So his Daddy ran out for lemons and honey and I made your "tea" for him.  Now he's soundly sleeping.

The recipe:

2-3 lemons, juiced

equal parts water

honey to taste (lots of it!)

Warm in saucepan and serve.  Sip slowly while puckering.  Soothes coughs and sore throats quickly.  A perfect before-bed remedy.

Oh, I'm bookmarking this. We have the beginnings of tickly throats all around. You are blessed to have pleasant memories to share with your Dad. :)

I make this same drink for my husband all the time. I can't get my kids to drink it yet but one day they will be giving it to their kids too. It is a great relief for that yucky throat.
