I have a major sinus problem right now - caught it from somewhere and was feeling pretty sorry for myself. My face felt like it might explode and I had a major headache, and couldn't breathe through my nose..... I found this recipe and whipped it up. I breathed it in for about 10 minutes and can breathe! My headache is GONE! So is that weird "foggy" feeling. I then strained out the bits from the muddling cuz they were all floating around in there, and am reclining having myself a tasty warm drink! It's delicious! I feel so much better (NO, I'm not drunk on the bourbon!!!)! Thank you sooo much for posting this. The spices really help I think.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm finally posting recipes after years of using this site. I want to be able to access treasured recipes without lugging a ton of books south with me when I move to Lake Chapala in Mexico.
Recently retired after 35 years teaching Algebra to 8th graders. I learned to cook at my mother's knee (and Julia Child expanded my vision). She was a 1st generation Swedish-American. Christmas was when we immersed outselves in the Swedish culture and food. Many of the recipes I have recently posted are from her hand-written notes and recipes. My one real regret is that she would never write down the "juice" she used to make pickled herring.
Favorite cookbook? I have over 100 or so. I love reading recipes.
