Hot Tea with Sambuca


This isn't really a recipe, just a suggestion for your hot drink repertoire.  Try a cup of weak black tea, with a little sugar and about half a shot of sambuca or other anise flavored liqueur.   Paco, the Spanish bartender at the Officers' Club at Torrejon Air Base recommended this to me when I had a cold back in the 80s.  It's been filed away in the back of my brain, to be dusted off recently when I was recovering from pneumonia.  It's very soothing for a sore throat.  Now, I've decided that it really tastes amazing and should also be consumed by healthy people.

Now, if only I had sambuca in the house (dealing with my annual Fall cold even as I type)... Sounds like a wonderful remedy.

Melinda - the next time you're at Walgreens buying cold remedies, don't forget to stop by the liquor department.
