the "recipe" i got is this: Makes a thermos full. 2 cups water + 8 teabags of whatever you want (I like Traditional Medicinals Red Raspberry Leaf Tea...what woman doesn't need more iron?) 1 cup honey 1 cup lemon juice 4 drops eucalyptus essential oil a bunch a dashes of cayenne pepper 2 shots whiskey (optional)
boil water, steep the tea for about 15 minutes, add rest, mix well and drink when it's as hot as you can stand. it'll make your nose run, but it burns out all the bad stuff. ;)
That make a lot, with a lot more sweet than I want. I brewed up a big mug of Dry Desert Lime and Moroccan Mint teasans ('cause that's the closest I have) and stirred in a spoonful of honey and several dashes of cayenne. Maybe I'll add a splash of whiskey or scotch. Can't hurt, right? ;)
I made a batch of cold killer tea and took it with me last night. Sadly, it only worked as long as it lasted and I ran out by the interval. *sigh* Fortunately my Mama-san brought me chicken soup this morning. Maybe that will do the trick. Nothing else seems to be working.
