Here''s a "cocktail" given to me by an old school doctor many years ago:

8 oz of the very hot half-n-half (better if organic, without hormones and antibiotics.)

1 teaspoon of the pure cocoa butter (OK, this''s the only ingredient you can get from a pharmacy (;''-))

1 tablespoon of honey (better if raw buckwheat)

1 raw egg yolk (better if organic, no hormones and antibiotics)

and finally the last ingredient - FOR GROWN-UPS ONLY -

1 tablespoon of cognac/brandy.

Boil half-n-half. Add ingredients in the order they are listed above to dilute cocoa butter, to not overheat honey, and to prevent the yolk from curdling.

Adding cognac/brandy at the very end prevents the evaporation of alcohol, which is well known as a disinfectant.

It''s tasty - even without the last ingredient (;''-)) - and natural.

BTW, this recipe I got in the country, which is not connected to the National Honey Board.

Enjoy!
