Mix well, warm slightly to make smooth. Then cool and sample. Traditionally drank cold. Though there are rumors afoot that it is good also warm.

Apparently a traditional Scottish potation.

Comments
Dan commented on 2/20/2012:

Curated slightly by changing to the Highland scotch ingredient. I removed (good) from the comments because all our ingredient are assumed to be good. I also changes parts to oz to size the drink reasonably.

That said, I question whether this would be drinkable with a 33% honey unless used to suppress a cough, which perhaps I feel coming on. ;)
