Whiskey Cough Cure - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup good strong cheap whiskey
3 peppermint candies (the hard kind)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sugar (this is actually to taste)

Preparation

In a small fruit jar, place the whiskey and honey.
Crush the peppermints well (this just helps them dissolve) and toss in the jar. If you need it, add the sugar, but if you don't need it, don't add it.
Let sit and the peppermints dissolve.
When you need it, take a spoonful; tablespoon if it's very bad, teaspoon if it's light. It's alright to give this to children, just make it more diluted with water.
