Here's one for the winter months. I don't know about you, but I tend to get a lot of sore throats and cold-like symptoms in the run-up to Christmas. This is a cold remedy my Dad prepares whenever anyone in the family comes down with anything. I find it really does the trick, especially when combined with one or two Max strength cold capsules.
Cold Remedy Drink
Preparation time: 1 hour
Difficulty level: Dead Easy
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
4 large oranges (sliced)
1 lemon (sliced)
1 tsp cinnamon
A shot of brandy (or whiskey)
1.5 litres water
3 tbsp honey (or agave nectar) (or maple syrup)
Method:
Put all the ingredients in a large saucepan, bring to the boil, then simmer on a low heat for one hour. After an hour, give the sliced fruit a squish with a potato masher to bring out the juice. Drain or ladel the liquid into a glass or mug and serve. Can be saved for several days in the fridge and reheated when needed.
