Ginger and Cayenne Pepper Delight - Natural Cold Remedy

by Maria Blakey
((FORCALQUIER, France))

Mix chopped ginger root, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, chopped garlic, hot water and a spoon full of honey. A recipe I found in Australia, of unknown origin.

Caroline's comment: The fire in this drink should drive out the cold. I doubt if many germs could survive this combination. Garlic is known to boost the immune system, lemon juice has lots of vitamin C, honey soothes a sore throat.
