So, cold and flu season is upon us and I was wondering what /ck/ eats and drinks when they are feeling under the weather? What makes you feel better?

Honey and ginger soaked lemons are what do it for me especially coupled with Sprite and bitters.

My mum's Indian so she adds a bit of ground cumin to the honey/lemon juice/hot water mix.

I usually order a really lemongrassy soup when I'm sick or make chicken soup for myself. I usually drink bitters + water when I have tummy pains

Because of my chinky mom, I usually drink herbal tea.

There's this one extract that is basically anti-cold fucking crack that you punch a straw through and suck the bitter contents of. Ridiculous ancient chinese medicine surprisingly works to this day, as it's cured cold after cold almost instantly at our office.

My gran would always give me okayu (rice porridge). I wouldn't say it made me feel better but until the flu ran it's course, it was the only thing I could stomach...

Lipton tea and wearing lots of Vicks Vaporub. I weaned myself off putting it in my nose because I don't want lung cancer 40 years from now

Hot whiskey obviously.
Clears up your mucus membranes and never gives you a hangover.
Also rosehip tea

Fuck no. Definitely not after somebody convinced me "hot buttered rum" would be good.

Hot buttered rum does sound pretty stinking.


For hot whiskey, you basically just but some hot water in a cup and dissolve some brown sugar in it. Then add in a good measure of Irish whiskey. Then you get a slice of lemon and stud it with a few cloves and drop it in.
Shit is delicious

I literally eat whatever I want when I'm sick. I've cured the flu with McDonalds. Just lift and stay active and you can eat whatever you want.

Black kids from my school taught me how to make sizzurp.

Recipe:
1 bottle of sprite
30 ml of nyquil
2 loratabs
1 jolly rancher
120 ml vodka (4 caps from the nyquil bottle)

You could do 1 loratab and 60ml of vodka if you didn't want to get 2crunk.
