Hot herbal tea with honey. And sometimes a drop (or two or three or ...) of
booze if sleep is an issue -- brandy for me.

When I was a kid, mom and dad made a concoction of whiskey, lemon and honey
for us when we were ill with colds. I think it was more to knock us out
than for its therapeutic properties, but hey, it did the trick
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz And tasted better than Nyquil too.
