Wow, after a couple of these you won't feel a thing and you for sure won't know you're sick! They will sneak up on you, however, so probably one is plenty and sip it slowly. Hang on, Knute, you're headed for the rhubarb!!!!!
I used Bushmill's Irish Whiskey and I'm talking smoooooooooth. The clove-studded lemon slice is the real ticket to this stuff. I used pretty thick slices of lemon the first time I made these, but the second time I needed this (bad cold) I only had clementines on hand and that worked beautifully, as well, and took less whole cloves so I just used a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon. That was good too, but the plain cloves is best.
