Рецепт Honeyed Spiced Vodka
Honeyed Spiced Vodka
A lot of times, especially this time of year for me, my throat gets scratchy and my eyes water and I know it is allergies. For me this time of year is my allergy season. When my throat is raw and scratchy I kind of like to sooth it with lemon and honey. Well mostly honey, it coats and sooths it and I love that. With this drink I used the zest of the lemon and really loved it. This really is good hot or cold and it helps clear up that stuffy nose, if only for a little while.
