It's that time of year: cold remedies galore.
This may seem wierd to include this in our gluttykitty section, but not only are these cold remedies good for the immune system, they are also good for the soul. Thanks to glittrgirl and her pals for the following remedies (which I am using at the moment, sniff):
Ginger Tea with Lemon
A large chunk of fresh root ginger (2 inch square)
juice of half a fresh lemon
1 teaspoon of honey
Finely grate ginger into a teapot, pour hot water into pot (enough for two BIG cups), add lemon juice and honey. Let stand for 3-5 minutes, then drink, drink, drink.
Berry Smoothie
Handfuls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Two glasses of cranberry juice. Two tablespoons of yogurt. Whizz up in food processor. Drink, drink, drink.
Carrot, Ginger, Chilli and Butternut Squash Soup
Two carrots, chopped
one inch fresh ginger, chopped
one fresh chilli, chopped
one butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed and chopped
1 litre of vegetable stock
Cook together until vegetables soft. Blend. Eat slowly: it's HOT!
Am putting these up because I am ill, so ill. I could happily just lie on Glittrgirl's stash and not move for 24 hours. I have goo coming out of every orifice... Hope you are all well and not turning into a slush monster like moi.
