A grog can be done with ginger tea as the base or just hot water.
Drink right before going to bed.
For 1 cup of hot water or ginger tea, add:
• The juice of ½ a lemon
• 1 teaspoon of good quality honey
• 1 shot of rum – or other hard liquor. Choose something of quality, not grain, corn or potato-based alcohol tainted with glyphosate (Roundup)
Drink while hot.
Go to bed!





The grog is a long-standing French home remedy believed to help prevent or ease cold and flu symptoms, mainly by combining warmth, hydration, lemon, and honey to soothe the body before sleep. While it is culturally popular and comforting, Geometry Dash its perceived effectiveness is based more on tradition and relaxation than on medical proof, and the alcohol component should be consumed in moderation rather than seen as a true treatment.
