Carole's Concoctions-Nana's Recipe to Soothe a Sore Throat

I don't know what it is about old wives' tales and concoctions but many of them are truly useful and actually work.  I, for one, will always go for a natural remedy as I think we are an over-prescribed, over-medicated society. I'll stick to aspirin, chicken soup and hot lemon and honey any day over nyquil.

Oh and yes, you guessed, I've been sick for a couple of days - fever, dry cough, aches - not fun.  But, I swear that when I sip hot lemon with honey, my throat feels better!!  This is what my grandmother and Mom gave us and now I am self-administering for my sore throat.

Try it:

Start with a lemon, place on counter and roll it under the palm of your hand for 30 seconds to loosen the juice, cut it into quarters, place in small saucepan with a cup or two of water, bring to a boil. 

Put a Tbsp or any amount of honey you like (to taste) in a mug, pour hot lemon juice through a strainer into mug, stir and let the soothing begin!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!  Feeling better already!!
