When you’re sick… what’s your go-to comfort drink?

Question

I’ve been sick the past few days and trying to survive over here lol…

What’s your go-to comfort drink when you’re feeling awful? Tea? Soup? Hot toddy? Something else?

My friend just made me a hot toddy… with tequila in it 😭😂 I don’t know if I’m being healed or taken out.

Well, of course, little Mz lush here, even at the hint of a sniffle and I'm into the Hot Toddies. (Bourbon not tequila) And even as young kids, since we lived in a very rural, old fashioned setting, we were given whiskey and lemon when we got sick. Tho in hindsight I sometimes wonder if our parents were just trying to get us to pass out so they could get a few minutes peace. 🤣

And I hope u feel better soon! Keep drinking! 🤣

When I’m sick, I always reach for a big mug of ginger-lemon tea with honey 🍋🍯

Fresh ginger slices simmered in water, a squeeze of lemon, and a generous spoon of honey. Sometimes I add a splash of whiskey at night if my throat is really sore, kind of like a gentle hot toddy.

Tequila in a toddy sounds wild, but strangely comforting 😂

Real multivitamin juice and green tea.

I make chicken soup when the stores that I go to in the delhi sells , roasted chicken so I buy a whole take the legs , thighs and wings off and the breast Take some meat off the legs little bit off the thighs and I boil it and make a broth to make chicken soup  But also what I do is, I will cut up some ginger and some garlic put it in a cup of water, boil it.
 Eat the garlic.
 And then I put a little bit of chicken broth in it, and that seems to work really, really good for me. Also, what I do is I will either take cold medicine or mouthwash. Put it in my mouth, and I will hold it in there for at least 10 minutes and then spit it out because that's where the flu starts is either our nose, our eyes are our mouth. The only place we can get it from, but any bacteria or any virus It's gonna be in your mouth and that will clean it out. And you'll get better sooner. And you can't forget water water's always good for you. It gave us life nine months in our mother's stomach so and it holds memory , so water is always good luck I just had that flu and it lasted 2 weeks. I couldn't believe it and I hadn't been sick for over 15 years. Probably

* Toasted rice green tea, (with a little agave syrup if you want to sweeten it) But it’s Japanese green tea combined with roasted popped brown rice. It is sometimes referred to colloquially as "popcorn tea" because a few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process and resemble popcorn. (Think they have it at Sprouts, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, etc,)

* Organic unsalted chicken broth, that I add some flaky chunky sea salt to, some super fine parsley, a dash of cayenne pepper, and those tiny-tiny stick thin manischewitz egg noodles that are so fine you could easily drink them in a mug, without a spoon. So good.

* Theraflu hot beverage for colds/flu (don’t know if they make that still)

* DayQuil if you’re absolutely miserable and need to leave the house

* Couple shots of whiskey, followed by a hot black tea with milk.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

It depends on what kind of "sick" I'm dealing with.
If it's some kind of cold, I'll drink tea, have chicken noodle soup and other hot things.
If it's my stomach going bad, I'll have Pepto-Bismol, mint ginger ale and eat salty, doughy things like saltine crackers or pretzels and weak tea (no milk and possible no sugar).
I never drink so, I have no idea what a hot toddy will do.

MrChinaski · Answer

I'm like you, sort of. Hot tea and honey... no alcohol... is my comfort drink.

When I am sick, I usually have a scratchy throat and sometimes get the chills. The hot tea soothes my throat and also warms me up... from the inside.
