GrandMa Great’s Hot Toddy Cold Remedy
I’m not sure where we got this recipe, but it’s a Holland favorite. We’ve used it on several occasions and it truly works on a sore throat and helps you rest during a cold.

We think Gary found it in his GrandMa Great’s papers. So we’re going to attribute it to her.
