Don't know if it helps you get over the cold faster, but it makes you feel more up for going out on the town - cheap gin (Burnett's been in rotation at my place recently) and and Red Bull or Rockstar on ice.

For cold/congestion/sinus

Use fresh thyme and ginger
brandy
lemon/lime
1 cup of water

-Boil thyme and ginger in 1 cup of water for about 5-10 minuts.
-In a coffee mug pour at a minimum 1 shot of brandy and a squize of lime or lemon. For this recipie the lime is optional.
-strain thyme/ginger tea into your cup.
-as you sip, inhale the vapors.

Thyme really works wonders and will bring you instant relief.


For cold/cough

-1 shot of tequila
-a spoon full of honey
-1/2 lime

Mix well and drink
