Ingredients
- 2 oz Irish whiskey
- 1.5 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 6 oz Hot water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces Cloves
- 1 piece Lemon slice (garnish)

Instructions
Start by boiling water in a kettle or pot. You will need 6 oz of hot water for the recipe.
In a heatproof mug or glass, add the Irish whiskey, honey, and fresh lemon juice.
Pour the hot water into the mug and stir well to dissolve the honey completely.
Drop in the cinnamon stick and cloves. Let the mixture steep for 2-3 minutes to infuse the warm spices.
Remove the cloves to avoid an overpowering flavor, but you may leave the cinnamon stick in for presentation and added aroma.

Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this comforting Irish Whiskey Honey Remedy.
