I'm looking for a home remedie for a cough.  I have heard of using a
concoction of lemon juice, honey, and bourbon.  Any ideas on how much of
each and how to prepare?

I use the juice from half a lemon, a shot of booze (you could use
whiskey, cognac, bourbon, or rum), a couple tablespoons of honey (or to
taste), and enough hot water to fill an 12 oz glass the rest of the way
up. The water should be as hot as you can stand it. 

Hope this helps....

This is basicallly just a Hot Toddy it's quite a common drink here in N.
Ireland especially during winter!  It is without doubt beneficial to a
cough, but it's effectiveness is increased by adding a teaspoon or so of
glycerine to the mixture.

I`ve used this remedy for years and I`ll admit that I never have known what
the correct proportions are suppose to be.  Honey and lemon alone in
roughly equal proportions seems to work well.  When using whiskey I mix
about 1 part booze - 2 parts lemon - 3 parts honey.  Not only will this
concoction soothe a cough, but the more of it you take the less you will
care that you even had a cough in the first place.

Lemon and honey??? In the whiskey!!??? Radical thought. Maybe that's
why my cough remedy never worked well.

Hi,

     My grandfather used this recipe to sweat out sick-ups.
     I'm 49 years old, guess it didn't kill me.

Ken.

The booze is added on taste, as they say. The more you like booze, 
the more you add to it. See, the real work is done by the honey and the lemon, 
mixed with something hot. The booze only helps you drink it.

It's like puting medicine in a candy - for kids, dogs, women and such.
It helps intake the medicine without making too much fuss about it.
Hehehe.

I personally have always taken my honey and lemon with home-made
brandy, on those occasions. I guess I like rum better than whiskey.
Needless to say, it has always worked. Love, 	-= Ivan =-
