Been struck down by a cold or flu? Here's a home remedy from my friend Kim that can help. I've passed it on to so many people over the years, I figured it would be more efficient to post it here.
Hot Buttered Lemonade
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup honey
1-2 quarts water (to taste)
Zest of 1 lemon (very important!)
whole cloves (5-10)
1-2 stick cinnamon
whole allspice (optional)
Combine and simmer to bring out essential oils of spices. Pour in cup over 1 Tbs. butter. Add stick cinnamon to cup if desired. Sip.
(Butter provides a soothing coating to throat, cloves and other spices relieve the pain of sore and scratchy throat, lemon provides much needed vitamin C.)
