 Cold Kicker Remedy: A Tried and True Recipe for Warding off Colds and Flu

This remedy is one of the best for warding off colds, the flu, or any kind of general feeling of ickiness. Not only is it chock full of anti-viral and anti-bacterial goodness, but it's guaranteed to knock your socks off!

Ginger and cayenne are warming to your system, while onion, horseradish and garlic help to kill any bug that is attempting to assault your body. Sage and rosemary dry up any mucus that might be tempted to drip, and your body will benefit from the boost of minerals that apple cider vinegar provides. As scary as it sounds, it's actually quite tasty, too.

Ingredients

1/4 c. ginger root, freshly grated
1/4 c. onion, freshly chopped
1/4 c. fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 c. fresh sage leaves, chopped
1/4 c. grated horseradish
4 cloves of garlic (you can up it to 6, if you feel adventurous)
2 Tbsp. ground cayenne pepper
organic apple cider vinegar to cover
1/4 cup of raw organic honey (Manuka honey would be ideal)

(As always, choose organic content and fresh content as much as possible for the healthiest recipe.)

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients in a quart size mason jar, and fill to the top, leaving 1 inch headspace.

2. Shake daily for two to four weeks, then strain, squeezing out all the liquid.

3. Heat gently over heat, and add 1/4 c. of honey, stirring to dissolve.

4. Rebottle, and use as needed to kick any feeling of sick right out of you!

5. Use 2 tablespoons in a cup of hot water, and sip it as needed.

Note: supercharge this remedy by using it in chicken broth or added to chicken soup, especially when you don't feel much like eating.
