I double whisky
2 tsp sugar
2 cloves
a little boiling water.

All in one glass, let steep for a minte, drink - but not the cloves

u need--a few cloves (that's not of garlic)-2 teaspoons sugar(or more or less if u want)-slice of lemon (or dash of lemon juice)-standard measure of whisky (not high quality like a malt-bog standard will do)-small whisky glass:
u do--put the glass inside ur kettle and boil up--when boiled remove from kettle with kitchen tongs--add the sugar, cloves and lemon to the glass then the measure of whisky--stir till sugar dissolves--top up to ur satisfaction with water from the kettle--sip slowly breathing in the fumes--enjoy and repeat many times--lol

..pour a mugfull of cold water into a saucepan, squeez in the juice of a whole lemon. then chuck in the remains of the lemon, a little sugar to taste...boil up . pour a generous amout of whiskey into your mug, strain the hot water and lemon over the top and snuggle up ...works a treat for me every time, I hate whiskey, maybe thats why I have so much lemon with it...
