    My grandmother made that without adding water or boiling the mixture , she grated the ginger , crushed the cloves , used the bay leaves whole placed between parchment paper & rolled over with a pistle to soften the leaves , crushed 2 whole star anise added all of those ingredients to a mason jar added honey and sealed it for a month , before starting to use it during colds & flu season , 1 teaspoon 2 to 3 times a day when needed , another cold remedy recipe she made with 1 whole onion peeled & cut in half , 2 crushed garlic cloves , place ingredients in a mason jar, onions cut sude upward , cover with honey , you need a fairly large mason jar 🫙 the volume of liquid will increase , use 1 to 2 teaspoon of liquid twice a day for colds or flu symptoms, check with a doctor if it's ok for you to use .

    Thank you for your video and recipe, i've just made some for my boyfriend who has a nasty sore throat and a chest cold. I much prefer natural remedies rather than junk from the chemist. I believe the body knows what to do with the natural remedies so it can utilise them faster and with more success. Plus you don't have any left over additives for the body to deal with from regular medications. Thank you from Brisbane Australia. :)

      Hi there, it stays well in the refrigerator for up to a week. Taking the mixture 3-4 times a day helps. Hope this helps.

      Hi, dried ground ginger is very effective for giving relief from cold and cough; however for this recipe fresh ginger is required.

    can I preserve this with alcohol ? so it will stay usable in the fridge longer?

      Hi, This is made with all natural ingredients and it stays good in the fridge for up to a week. Mixing it with Alcohol would not work I’m afraid
