Hot Toddy Recipes? [View all]

I got a bad cold/flu thing last night, so tonight I decided to attack it with a few Hot Toddy's.

So far, my favorite involves brandy, Chai tea, honey and lemon. All the spices in the Chai, carried aloft to my sinuses by the warm brandy vapors, are working almost as well as Robitussin.

Anyone got any interesting Hot Toddy recipes, especially ones purported to have medicinal properties?
