Cold season is upon us people. And it came back with a vengeance. I live in Iowa, Mother Nature's personal experiment where she see how hot it can get in the summer and how cold it can get in the winter. I know, people in Arizona are going, "You don't even know what hot is!" and people in Michigan are saying. "We can get frost bite by stepping outside!" But what people don't understand is Iowa doesn't have it the worst on either end of the spectrum, but we hop from one extreme to the other. After that long and winding introduction, I get to my main point. This winter has been a hard one, and it's not even February. Being both cheap, and suspicious of all medicines, I LOVE home remedies, especially ones that taste good. This quick recipe can help with sore throat, hacking cough, and tight congestion, using four simple ingredients found in your kitchen. You can use it to help in the midst of a cold, or take a teaspoon when you feel one coming on in place of a drugstore cough suppressant or decongestant.
Mix 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 Tablespoons of Water in a small bowl. Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon each of cayenne and ginger in the vinegar and water mix. Add a tablespoon raw honey and mix. Take a tablespoon to help with your cold.
