My best friend, who just happens to be Irish, made this hot Irish whiskey drink for me one cold night in Chicago, and since then, I have been hooked! Warning: It is very potent. Just one of these will warm you up and basically make you good for nothing afterward — what a treat! It is super to drink at night if you have a sore throat. My friend said this is what the Irish drink if they don't feel good, but don't wait until you have a cold to try this recipe!
Ingredients
- 8 whole cloves
- 1 slice of lemon , 1/4-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 0.75 cups boiling water
- 1 jigger Irish whiskey , 1.5 fluid ounce
Instructions
-
1
Press cloves into lemon slice peel around entire peel; set aside.

2
Add sugar to a wine glass; place a metal spoon into the glass with the curved side facing upwards. Pour boiling water over the back of the spoon; this will keep your wine glass from shattering. Stir until sugar dissolved; add whiskey and lemon slice. Steep before drinking, about 1 minute.

Perfect Chicken Piccata
This quick chicken piccata recipe makes it easy to have this classic Italian restaurant dish at home. The pounded chicken breasts are so tender and juicy, and the buttery lemon caper sauce is so delicious, you'll want to drink it! I like to serve the chicken with pasta.
Caramel Popcorn
Great caramel popcorn for any holiday or occasion. If you like chewy popcorn, bake the coated corn a little less.
Breakfast Muffins
Fresh fruit muffins, easily frozen or eaten any time of day. Try peaches, blueberries, strawberries, or my daughter's favorite--chocolate chips.
