When flu season hits, this soothing combo of honey, ginger, and lemon is just what the doctor ordered. Well, maybe not the doctor, but this potent three-ingredient recipe tops our list of restorative beverages. Its pleasingly fiery burn won’t actually scare a cold away, but we find it soothing to sore throats, congested sinuses, and general sick-day malaise. Plus, it tastes great. Serve it hot, warm, or cold, full strength or diluted (water, seltzer, or even a little whiskey all go great). Keep a batch in the fridge for up to two weeks, and stay armed to the teeth against colds this winter.
