Re: My cold/flu season secret weapons, please share yours!
I just made one of those "super concoction" things that I've read about before.
Ingredients ( I just eyed this so I'm guessing here)
Fresh Ginger (I both grated and and sliced this up) about 1/3 of a cup
5 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 Tbs Cayenne
1/2 Tbs Cinnamon
6oz of raw honey
16oz purified water
I put everything but the honey together in a pot and brought it to a boil for about two minutes. Then I let it sit for a bit. I poured the honey into a large mason jar. I poured the mixture that was in the pot, into the blender. I blended until all chunks were gone and then added to the honey mixture and shook. DH and I each took a shot of it. It was pretty spicy but good surprisingly. I think it was the large amount of honey I used.
Each ingredient has their own wonderful anti-viral and immune system building qualities. Google for more info! You can either take it in shot form for a high dose while sick or to ward off illness. Or you can take about three ounces add it to some broth with some chicken and veggies and it's a great soup to have two times a week for maintenance.
Now, my question is storage. Do I store this in the fridge, or in the cupboard?
