Cold Treatment: At the onset of a cold, add 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon and ginger to 1 cup of scalded milk. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and drink while hot.
Very soothing and stimulating.
Royal Mix for Severe Colds: Mix 1 cup each of dried white yarrow, spearmint, sage, catnip, horehound, verbena and pennyroyal. Pour 1 pint of boiling water over 2-1/2 tablespoons of the herb mix. Cover and let stand 10 minutes. Strain and sweeten. Reheat and drink 1 cup every couple hours.
Use more often if sweating is desired.
Cinnamon Tea: This is really good to take during a cold, as it will cause you to sweat. Cinnamon is a strong stimulant and this really works. Simmer 6 sticks of cinnamon in 1 pint of water for 30 minutes. Strain and add milk and honey after removing the cinnamon sticks. Taste delicious and kids love it.
