There's no denying that these days more than ever, no one wants to feel a tickle in the throat, a cough or any niggling aches and pain . As scrupulous as you may, unpredictably you'll find yourself waking up feeling under the weather.
Well! My Swear by Home Remedy at the onset of a cold or flu, is this mixture that I've been using for umpteen years, and it hasn't failed me yet!
Very important: Equal parts of Honey, freshly squeezed Lemon Juice (or lime), and Rum.
Stir to blend all ingredients together and sip slowly, having only a shot glass portion as needed.
Fresh Ginger can also be added. I particularly recommend the Jamaican Wray and Nephew White Rum or Jamaican Appleton White Rum, however, any other rum should suffice. I substituted my concoction with Tanduay - local rum from the Philippines.
I also stay warm and dry and rest, rest, rest...
This is such a tasty treat that I have to remind myself that it's an "alternative medicine", NOT A COCKTAIL INTENDED TO ALTER THE STATE OF MIND :)
Tip: This is brilliant when heated for 30 sec in the microwave.
NB: I have another "DIY Flu Shot" that I'm gonna post shortly. That remedy is stronger and not for the weakhearted.
I drank a glass of that flu shot regularly during my 30 day lock-down as a precautionary measure and to build my immune.
STAY TUNED!!!!
