Simon, if you're brave enough to try this, I found it really helps and
lessens this really annoying scratching in the throat. Just don't think I do
this out of brotherly love, I'l just miss your wisecracking remarks on
Sunday ;-) Get better, okay? I can stand seeing people suffer.#
Okay, this might sound a bit strange, but it tastes great *and* settles the
throat.
Take 2/3 Cup of Orange or Citron Juice, add a spoonful of honey and heat it
up. Add either two coughdrops or peppermint tea-leaves. Cook til the drops
have melted (or until the tea leaves have steeped enough). Fill it in a cup
and add hot water til it is filled up.
In the original recipe stood that you should add one shot of whisky to the
orange juice before cooking. The alcohol cooks out and it really helps, too.
But people always give me strange looks when I mention whisky in a medicin,
so this is just a... suggestion.
