Hot whiskey is a flavorful drink that will warm you up on a cold day. It is also a great drink for fighting sore throats and soothing for colds and flu.
Steps
1 Pour water into a kettle and bring to a boil.
2 While the water is heating, take a suitable glass, for example for red wine, and put a teaspoon of brown sugar in it. White sugar will not work, but honey can be used. 
3 Add enough whiskey. The portion can be any size you like. Keep in mind that for a cold or flu, a really good serving of whiskey may be required. 
4 Stir the whiskey and sugar lightly to loosen the lumps. Taste to make sure the drink is to your liking. Keep in mind that whiskey fizzles out. 
5 Wash the lemon. Take a slice from the middle of a lemon (about 5mm thick). Remove pits as they can spoil the taste. 
6 Place a clove in each lemon segment. Anchor well, possibly pierce through. You don't want them to fall into the drink. 
7 The kettle should be boiling by this time, so pour water into the glass on the back of the spoon to avoid scalding the whiskey.
8 Stir the drink well and dissolve the brown sugar completely, then add the lemon and the cloves.
9 Tie a napkin around your neck and go! Repeat until symptoms disappear. You may need to make another portion!
Tips
