Being Sick

Doesn't being sick suck? I've been sick all weekend with a horrible cough, sore throat, running nose, and headache! I've also tried a countless number of home remedies to avoid getting worse.

One of the most disgusting remedies was a honey, garlic, lemon concoction. Researching home remedies, I stumbled upon this site & recipe:

Mix together thoroughly: (Ruby and I just put everything in the blender)

• 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed is preferable)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup raw honey
• 5 large cloves of garlic – minced or pressed
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or  1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
• a dash of cayenne powder

Put it in a container and keep fresh in the fridge.

Deciding to give this garlic, lemon, honey syrup a try, I pulled the ingredients together and took a spoon-full. MAN WAS IT NASTY! It looks a lot better than it tastes, but tastes a lot better than it smells! At the end of the day I couldn't get myself to eat enough of the syrup to feel better. Guess I better stick with Theraflu.

Assignment: What are some home remedies you and your family use when you get sick? Tell me about them and provide the recipe & pictures if you can. Describe what the remedies taste like. Do they make you feel better?
