Ingredients

Lemon - a natural anti-histamine

Honey - has anti-bacterial properties

Garlic - antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and of course, good for your heart!!

Directions

For Sore Throat and Cold:

Add 1 tsp honey to1 tsp lemon.

Mix well and take a couple teaspoons to sooth a sore throat. Also helps to calm a dry hacky cough.

(I usually mix 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup lemon and store it in the fridge when my family is complaining of sore thoats.)

Also, add one Tbs of mixture to 1 cup hot water. Helps sooth sore thoat and releive sinus congestion. My kids call this "Hot Lemonaid".

~@~

Crush 2 cloves of garlic into 2 cups water. Bring to a brisk boil. Remove from heat, sit with a towel over your head and the pan and breath in the steam. Believe me! Every inch of your congested lungs will be loosened and your body will be able to cough it out much easier. Use the lemon and honey to sooth your throat!

You're right, this does work. Works even better if you put some whiskey in it (tee hee).
