Ugh! Will this cold ever go away?!?!!! OK, It’s really only been a few days but I very rarely get sick, and just can’t handle being in a constant state of sniffling and being separated from the gym for so long. Plus, my fucking head is throbbing, my nose is clogged, my eyes won’t stop watering, and it’s just fucking retarded how badly I feel like I need to sneeze (but it just won’t come!… not true, it comes, there is just always another one right around the corner). Anyway, enough complaining… What am I doing about it? Drinking my pain away (like a fucking champion) Ughhhhhhhhhh!!!! CURE ME!
Disclaimer: I know this isn’t good for me… it’s just more fun than laying around being miserable.

Ingredients
- 6 cups water

- 6 stars of anise

Method
Boil the water in a large tea kettle. Steep the tea until it’s ready and remove from the pot. Add the honey, ginger, cardamom, and whiskey. Stir and let sit for a couple minutes so the flavors can seep in. Serve in mugs or glasses. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, star anise & lemon wedge.
