THIS. STUFF. WORKS. Mother nature knows what she’s doing ─ all the ingredients in my natural cold remedy are well, natural 🌱 You can pronounce all the ingredients, unlike the stuff on the back of a few store-bought cough syrups I’ve seen, which shall remain nameless… Everything you need can be found at your local grocery store, and you may be using a few to cook your dinner with already. A win-win for your pocket, and your cold ─ which won’t be around for long if you try this recipe 😉

How to make

  1. Put 2.5 cups of water in the saucepan on the stove along with 6 big garlic cloves minced, 1/4 of a red onion chopped, and 1 sprig of rosemary
  2. Heat on medium-high, then boil for 10 minutes, and remove from the heat
  3. Strain the liquid into your cup, then add 1 tbsp each of cinnamon and molasses
  4. Stir to combine, and drink while it’s still hot (I let mine cool for 15 minutes before consuming)
  5. This recipe makes 2 cups, drink and repeat until your symptoms are gone
  6. Enjoy!

Worth noting

  • Include the molasses and you won’t taste any of the garlic, onion or rosemary!
