This recipe is so old that Father Time doesn't remember its origins! Just about every culture claims it, so we can all call it "Grandma's Soothing Remedy". The healing properties for the mixture are much better without the sugar -- which is chemically processed and refined (even brown sugar), and adds difficulty to digestion. Raw, uncooked honey is a natural antisceptic. So, if you leave out the sugar, your results will be that much more powerful. Also, for added sweetness, try wildflower and orange blossom honey. Feel better!

Wow, this is a delicious concoction and so soothing when you are not feeling too well. My DH has the flu, and I am fighting it right now, so I made a couple of mugs for us. We both really enjoyed it, it was hot and steaming relief. I am assuming that the tablets are like our Aspirin, so that is what we took with it. I added extra honey, and cut down on the sugar. Thanks for a really good recipe!
