Cough Medicines

Honey and Lemon Juice

It doesn't get much simpler than this. Mix 2 teaspoons lemon juice in 1/2 cup warm water then add honey enough to thicken. Take one or two teaspoons every hour as needed.

Honey-Lemon II

Bake 2 lemons for 30 minutes in a 350º oven. Squeeze juice through a strainer into 1 pint (2 cups) of honey. Stir thoroughly. Dose is one or 2 teaspoons as needed.

Sakara's Hot Toddy

Take an eight-ounce glass, better yet a large stemmed goblet. Mull two tablespoons brandy and approximately one tablespoon honey in the glass. To "mull" is to stir together in the bottom of the glass until well blended. Now add very hot water, but leave a little room at the top. Take a fresh lemon slice and squeeze it into the drink. Drop the lemon slice into the glass and enjoy. If you need more brandy or more honey, just add. This drink will cause you to sweat. It needn't be said that it will make you feel better.

Good health to you,
Sakara
(Cold? What cold?)
