Default The irish special

I used to call my cold remedy "the Irish special" that dated back to the 1600's and has been a family trait ever since. Nothing Irish about it, i just used to add some sort of mystery to it as i gave it to my girlfriend when she was sick. Basically it was just warm water with honey, ginger, garlic and lemon juice. I have allways used this, when sick, as im not a big fan of the doctor prescribing antibiotics that must be completed from start to finish. Worked wonders for us but the chunky stuff on bottom was hard to swallow without the feeling of vomiting!
Also i remember my father giving me a good old glass of Sherry to help!
