The Cold Season is here - Time for the Incredible Concoction

I just have to post this  cure every year at this time. You don't have time to be sick you say. Well, this is a homeopathic remedy that is guaranteed to ease your cold if not cure it completely. It was given to me our internist who got it from his grandmother. And you know that Jewish grandmothers know the cure for just about everything. Although this could just as easily be a cowboy concoction because it does deliver a powerful punch. Take this just before bed time. It will make your sinuses vibrate and your body will sweat out all that ails it. You will wake up the next morning feeling SO much better. Really.

The Incredible Concoction
¼ Tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. dried thyme
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
½ large lemon squeezed
1 jigger of really strong spirits (like whiskey) for those who can still imbibe
1 tsp. honey
8 ounces hot water

Put all the ingredients in a cup and stir well. Drink this as hot as you can tolerate it. Do not drink the residue at the bottom but go ahead and drink anything that is floating on top. Go to bed. Take again  a second night if needed.
