Cold and Flu Relief

Cold and flu season was a beast this year!  If you had the flu or have it now you know that it comes with nasty congestion, sore throat, and a heavy cough.  If you haven't tried "Maggie's Cough Remedy" yet, it's a must try before hitting the relief isles at your local drugstore, a special thank you to Good Food Matters for this fabulous Wellness Wednesday recipe!

MAGGIE’S COUGH REMEDY
¼ teaspoon Cayenne
¼ teaspoon Ginger
1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar (an organic one, like Bragg’s, is preferred.)
2 Tablespoon Water
1 Tablespoon Honey (use a locally produced raw honey, if possible.)

Dissolve cayenne and ginger in cider vinegar and water. Add honey and shake well. Take 1 
Tablespoon as needed for cough. 

Note: This is potent albeit watery syrup. It also doesn’t dissolve perfectly. Always shake well before using.
