The Story

Whenever I got the common cold and my throat started to bother me, my father would make me a mug of milk and honey.

Sweet, smooth and very soothing.

The milky liquid went down my throat and with each swallow I felt a little bit better.

It was simple but effective. Just what I needed on both a physical and psychological level.

Now, when my father is thousands of miles away and I have caught a cold again, I decided to make one for myself.

Of course I had to “individualize” the simple recipe and make it mine. So I added some spices and some fresh ginger (which also has therapeutic properties) and came up with a big mug of heaven upon earth.

You have got to try it. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

[for 1 mug]

• 1 ⅔ cups of milk [I used vanilla soy milk]
• 1 Tsp of freshly grated ginger [if you don’t have fresh ginger, just skip it. Do not use dried one. It is NOT the same]
• 1 Tbs cinnamon
• ½ Tsp clove
• 1-3 Tbs of honey [depends on how much of a sweet tooth you are. I use 2.]

How To

Pour all the ingredient into a small pot and bring to a boil on high heat. Stir it occasionally while it’s on the stove to integrate all the ingredients together.

That is all.

Heaven!!!
