cold and cough recipe

MOM'S HOMEMADE COLD "I WANT TO FEEL BETTER" RECIPE

(I can't call it a remedy - all I know is that it makes you feel better, in spite of a cold or a cough. Patti can attest to it - and Indie and Calvin guzzled it when they had bad coughs.)

Buy a GINGER ROOT in the produce section of the store. Cut it up into 2 inch chunks. (Freeze the chunks, except the one you're just going to use. You can peel the chunks before you freeze them, or can peel them later while they're still frozen - a little more difficult)
Peel the one chunk, then grate it into a pan - add about 2 quarts of water and boil the gratings for 20 minutes. Let steep for another 10 minutes, then strain into a pitcher.
Add 1/2 to 1 cup of HONEY and stir. Add 4 capfuls for CIDER VINEGAR. Add a can of ORANGE JUICE CONCENTRATE and the three cans of water.

THIS IS EXCELLENT WARMED UP OR COLD, DEPENDING WHAT YOU'RE IN THE MOOD FOR.
