When you are getting a cold, a sore throat, a cough or the flu this drink is wonderful. I make it in a huge mug and have one mug at least three times a day, if am suffering from any of the above. It feels so good to get this down you. Soothing, warming and definately healing. The trick is to get into a nice warm bed after drinking and you will work up a bit of heat and a sweat, which means your body is getting rid of toxins and also helping to kill the bugs. Garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic, and lemons a source of Vitamin C. Honey soothes and heals raw tissue such as a sore throat. For more details read the full post

For one very large mug (like a soup mug)

2 garlic cloves crushed or chopped

Half teaspoon of chopped fresh or dried ginger

1 large desertspoon honey  (manuka is good)

pinch of cayenne pepper

Juice of 1 or 2 lemons (and some of the zest)

Fill mug with water just off the boil.

When cooled enough drink it all up, solids and all.
