For me, if I feel like utter poo, I have a big mug of hot black tea. I have it with a little vanilla soy milk and 4 spoons of sugar. Reaaaally sweet and tasty. When I'm really bad Tai makes it with honey to sweeten.

I also suggest that if you have a blocked nose or sinuses, make black tea without the milk, then add honey, lemon, ginger (ground or fresh) and some tea-tree. Mix and inhale the vapours. Makes for the nice.
