Serving mussels on the half shell in this manner is great. A tangy mixture of bell peppers and vinaigrette dressing is placed on top of them. For a large gathering, this works well as an appetizer.

this recipe is great for when u have a flu called very serious virus!!! u drink hot lemonade then it goes away right away! amazinggg!!!
I’ve been making this for years, as my mother before me and so on. We’ve never had a recipe really, just 1-2 lemons cut up, squeeze the juice from them, add 1-2 cups water, throw the squeezed lemons in as well, add sugar/honey to taste and bring to a boil, serve while hot. My family has always done this when we get sick and it definitely makes me feel better.
No change to make. Only good words for the chef. Please please please alert me if you make this drink. Thankssss
I left the rum out. Very soothing and just what my upset tummy needed.
Heated 2 cups of water in the microwave. Rolled a lemon & sliced it into my teapot. Poured water over lemon slices to steep. Added honey to mug of lemon tea. Yum!
this is also great for a cold works really well help soothe a sore throat and cough and tastes great
This was really good. I did use a bit less water, probably about 2 cups, just whatever fit into my small coffee cups.
Very good- soothing on the throat. Juice of 1 lemon is approximately 2-3 tablespoons of reconstituted bottled lemon juice.
Excellent! A great treat when you’re not feeling well.
Would like to try with maple syrup in place of honey!
I woke up feeling a bit under the weather–despite my efforts, looks like I’m getting bf’s cold. I decided to try this, and it is certainly helping soothe my throat. I just boiled one cup of water and mixed it with the same amount of lemon and honey. No rum for me–a little to early for that today! Thanks for the recipe.
in my house when somebody get sick…we make some HOT LEMONADE…jajjaj…I thought that we were crazy
When I seen the title of this recipe I had to see if what it was that my mother too.Made us kid’s the same thing but her’s she used sugar,even if there was rum around I do believe she would’ve add just a tiny bit.But this the first for me to find close to my mother’s recipe.Thank’s for sharing it.
this is a great recipes
I’ve been feeling cruddy today with a sore throat and swollen glands. I needed something to not only comfort but soothe. My grandma used to make this for me when I was a kid and was sick. I made this for one, using half of a lemon and a little more honey. This is just what I needed.
This was perfect for my sore throat. I followed another reviewers suggestion and used 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon honey, and juice from a whole lemon. Very soothing. I will definitely be using this every time Im sick.
sub the rum for vodka!!! **delicious**
My mom always made this when I was sick. It’s perfect for a sore throat.
I had to double the lemon juice and honey (too weak otherwise) but after I did, this was pretty tasty and really helped my husband’s sore throat.
I had a chill and this took it right away. My husband had a full blown cold and said this was very comforting. We used 2 cups of water as we wanted it nice and strong.
Great when my kids were sick! I left out the rum though!
