Honey & Cinnamon Remedies

Cold Remedy

• Pour 1 gallon of water in a large pan, adding 1/3 cup softened ginger root, 3 cups of honey and 1 cup seedless raisins. 
• Bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. The top will have to be skimmed every once in a while. 
• Cool, strain, and place in a tightly closed container overnight in the refrigerator.
• The next day, squeeze 6 lemons and 4 oranges and add the juice to the mixture. 
• Mix well and drink 2-3 glasses per day.
• This will get rid of symptoms pretty fast and clean the system.

Cold Treatment with Lemonade

• Heat a glass of lemonade and add honey to sweeten. This is a good recipe if you have a cold with a fever. It relaxes you and is helpful in relieving discomfort.

Cold Treatment with Milk

• At the onset of a cold, add 1/2 teaspoon each of cinnamon and ginger to 1 cup of scalded milk.
• Add 1 tablespoon of honey and drink while hot. 
• Very soothing and stimulating

My Own Simple Honey/Cinnamon Syrup

• While it's not my own invention, I'm sure many have done this before, I just mixed these two together last night, warmed it a little until less thick in consistency, and gave to my daughter by the tablespoon full.
• 1 cup of honey/1/4 cup of cinnamon
• Mix together, warm until it's less thick and easier for a toddler to swallow. 
• Give by the tablespoon full every couple of hours or even try adding to their warm milk, which I'm sure they will love!
