I’m not sure if either is any good as an actual cold remedy but for sure a hot lemon drink can be comforting and soothing.

Hot water and lemon is soothing. Add some ginger for a bit of a kick.

I’d go with a nice steaming mug of Bovril.

A good slug of whisky to replace the honey will do the trick.

Or whisky, lemon chunk studded with cloves and top with hot water but only if you are in for the evening lol.
