Ingredients:
1 tablespoon raw, unpasteurized honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of cloves
150 ml hot water
How to Prepare and Use the Remedy
Mix the Ingredients: Combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of cloves in a small bowl. Make sure to mix these ingredients thoroughly until they form a consistent blend.
Add Hot Water: Slowly pour the 150 ml of hot water into the bowl. Stir the mixture gently in order to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated. The hot water not only dilutes the mixture for easier consumption but also helps in extracting the beneficial properties of the ingredients.
Consumption: To get the best results, consume this mixture immediately after preparation. Take one tablespoon of this remedy every few hours or as needed to alleviate coughing. Remember, the effectiveness can vary from person to person, and it may take about 30 minutes to notice relief.
Storage: In case you have leftovers, you can store the mixture in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Make sure to stir it well before using it again.
Additional Tips and Advice
Honey Selection: Opt for high-quality, raw, unpasteurized honey for its natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Avoid processed honey as it may lack these beneficial qualities.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Choose organic apple cider vinegar with the “mother” for added health benefits. The “mother” contains healthy bacteria and enzymes.
Lemon Juice: Always use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled versions, which can contain preservatives and added sugars.
Cinnamon and Cloves: These spices not only add flavor but also bring their own health benefits. Cinnamon is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and cloves have natural antiseptic qualities.
