This recipe isn’t your grandma’s bragging – it’s a comforting concoction to calm coughs and soothe sore throats. Packed with natural ingredients, this remedy brings relief without harsh chemicals.
Ingredients:
- 2 Large Onions, thinly sliced (tears of joy optional!)
- 5 Cloves of Garlic, minced (ward off more than just vampires!)
- 100 ml Honey (nature’s sweet soother)
- OR (alternative option)
- 1 Apple, chopped (a taste of fall for any season)
- 1 Lemon, juiced (a pucker punch for good health)
- 1 tsp Baking Soda (fizzy relief for your throat)
- 1 Cinnamon Stick (warm and inviting flavor)
- 1 inch Ginger, grated (a spicy kick to clear congestion)
- 1 Liter Water (hydration is key!)
- Your Favorite Tea Bag (for an extra comforting touch)
- 1 tsp Honey (for the alternative option, to taste)
Instructions:
- Sauté Synergy: In a saucepan, gently sauté the onions and garlic (or chopped apple) in a bit of water until softened.
- Broth Bonanza: Pour in the water, lemon juice (if using the alternative option), cinnamon stick, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Herbal Harmony: Remove from heat and add your favorite tea bag. Let it steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bag and any large chunks of ginger.
- Honey Heaven: (If using the onion and garlic option) Stir in the honey until well combined. (If using the alternative option) Taste and add honey as desired for sweetness.
- Strain Stream: Strain the concoction into a mug and enjoy warm.
Grandma’s Wisdom:
- Drink this soothing sip throughout the day for continuous cough control.
- For an extra throat-tingling treat, gargle with a small amount of the cooled down mixture (avoid swallowing!).
- If your cough persists or worsens, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
Enjoy this comforting recipe and feel free to adjust the ingredients to your taste. Remember, grandma’s love (and this delicious drink) can go a long way in chasing away a cough!
