While flying at 14,0000 in IMC the engine began to misfire - there was some very minor icing on the window at the time - OAT approximately - minus 19 degrees C - applied carb heat and richened mixture which made the misfiring more pronounced - asked for a descent and heading to nearest airport. Lost engine completely for several minutes and eventually was able to re-start at approx 5,200 feet.
