Simmer about 1 cup milk and a cinnamon stick for a few minutes and pour over EtOH in the mug. Add 1-3 tsp honey to taste. (When a patient protested not liking the taste of cooked honey, the reponse from the bruja was "This is medicine; taste has nothing to do with it." PS. Boiling a cinnamon stick for 4 minutes in water, pouring into a tall mug and adding skim milk to taste also seems to work for those who don't enjoy the feeling of being drunk, sick, and on antibiotics at the same time.
