Cold Remedies

After enjoying a wonderful vacation last week, I seem to have come down with a cold this week. This one hit rather quicky and I have a feeling it will stick around. Instead of pumping myself full of DayQuil and Robitussin, I'm going to try a more traditional approach this time around: rest and fluids. I don't like the way I feel on cold medicines, and they really don't help you get better quicker. So far I'm drinking lots of water, juice, hot tea (orange spice tea is my pick right now), and soups. My other favorite cold remedy is a nice Hot Toddy before bed. The recipe I use is:

1 1/2 oz. Whiskey
1 oz. Honey
1/3 oz. Lemon Juice
3 oz. Hot Water

- Heat water, pour into mug
- Stir honey and lemon juice in
- Allow to cool slightly
- Add whiskey
- Drink, and sleep well

Any other recommendations?
