R.L. Burnside's Magic Missile

 The late, great R. L. "Mr. Wizard" Burnside in the 
midst of casting Otto's Irresistible Dance

Here's something for those of you in the path of a 36-hours-of-continuous-snow blizzard. When you see the first snowflakes coming down, go to the kitchen and make yourself a magic missile. Specifically, put some water on to boil and then:

1.Cover the bottom of a mug with a thin layer of maple syrup (honey works too)

2. Add a shot of bourbon/whiskey

3. Add a bag of rooibos tea and the water, once it boils

4. Let the whole shebang steep as you start to play A Ass Pocket of Whiskey (see below) on the stereo.

5. Mix and then sit back and sip as you listen to the one-and-only R. L. Burnside and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion howl along with the wind whipping outside your windows.

P.S. Be sure to tune into the theremin work on the finale, "Have you ever been lonely?".
