I have heard since coming here that the Wormwood /clove/blackwalnut is the best... My naturopath has me on oregano, and a blackwalnut combo... I eat about 2-3 cloves of garlic everyday... but i dont know the recipie that you mentioned.. i also chew on cloves, and mage some Wormwood wine.. which tastes so nast.. but is way cheaper that buying the little tinctures... Hope this helps..
