Drowning in Hot, Milky Tea

The entire Cowen Household is sick today. It's the usual "warm-one-day, cold-the-next" winter that we experience every year in Texas and our bodies have had enough. We're not quite at the stage where we need the heavy meds (accompanied by the pain of even getting a doctor's appointment), so we're trying several over-the-counter and homeopathic remedies. You know, Tylenol, Alka-Seltzer, Zinc-up-the-nose and tea... lovely hot mugs of Ty-Phoo with plenty of milk.
