nimbus 0 #2 July 23, 2001 Stupid colds! I am planning on doing Lvl 3 this coming weekend, but now have a cold to shake (damn flimsy cocktail dress for friend's wedding on Sat night in the middle of a Melbourne winter!)Here is a friend's cold/flu remedy:take 1 saucepan...fill with cold water to about 1/4 full.add the following;2 or 3 cloves of garlic - don't need to chop finely, just peel and squash so the goodness can ooze outa big chunk of ginger - peeled and cut into around 1cm chunks1 really hot chilli - chop finely and add seeds and all - if you don't have fresh chilli, you can use a good tablespoon of dried chilli flakes (but chilli paste doesn't work well - i tried it once and jusy makes the whole thing go red and horribly wrong)you can also put cloves in if you like, but i don't usually do thisBring to the boil, reduce and let it simmer for about 15 minutes (this is the imporant bit - the longer, the better obviously)sieve out all the shit and pour into glass or mug of your desiresqueeze juice of 1 lemon into mugadd one huge tablespoon of honeysip slowly cause it tastes bloody awful!....but it will make you sweat and feel so much better!Hope you feel better soon!Larissa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
