Flu Proofing Garlic and Lemon Tea
Some folks swear that when they eat a raw garlic clove for breakfast every day, the never get colds or the flu. Straight garlic is too spicy for children (and most adults), but try this garlic and lemon tea to keep the flu at bay. Parsley deodorizes the garlic, and contributes a little Vitamin A.
1 small garlic clove, finely minced and mashed with
½ tsp honey
1 tsp spearmint, peppermint or sage leaves
1 to 2 tsp finely minced parsley leaves
Put the garlic mashed with honey (the garlic should almost disappear) into a teacup with the lemon juice. Put the leaves in a strainer and pour boiling water over it an into the cup. Cap the cup with a saucer and let the tea steep for several minutes. Remove the saucer and strainer.
For flavor variety, sometimes use mint, sometimes sage. Sage has life-giving properties of it’s own. Mint must be drunk the day it is made, but sage tea keeps at room temperature for a couple of days.

This needs to have
Juice of 1/4 lemon added to the recipe
