For the past two weeks our family has been struggling with a bad cold and a cough that won’t go away. So here is a lemon drink that really helps:

In a large mug:

Place 1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

Add 2 slices of fresh lemon, cut into small pieces

Add 2 tablespoons honey

Top up with boiling water

Let steep for 10 minutes.

Sip slowly and eat the lemon pieces as well!

Ginger has potent anti-inflammatory properties. But: If your cough still lingers after a week, perhaps you may have a secondary bacterial infection and then you need to see your doctor and get some antibiotics! Take care and have a great week.
