My Grandfather Old Jack used to cut an onion in half & put it under
his bed at first sign of Cold or Flu… He swore by it…

This is my modern version I’ve been using for years… trust me it’s
delicious.
Into a large bottle put:
1 large or 2 small Onions roughly cut
1 whole Garlic . roughly cut
1 lemon/lime cut in slices
About 2 inches of fresh Ginger
Fresh Turmeric

Cover all this with equal parts of Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey. I mix mine in a jug or jar & pour in to cover all ingredients well. Allow to sit for at least a week to allow all the goodness of each to seep into the vinegar mix.Take a large spoonful or two in a glass of warm water when you feel the need of a soothing winter drink.
Will last a year or more if forgotten.
The honey & cider vinegar are wonderful preservers & picklers. Make a new lot when it starts to get low.
This is the first year I’ll add Turmeric… as I’ve seen articles raving about it’s wonderful properties for colds & flu… so I can’t vouch for the taste… but the other ingredients become a very mild blend of deliciousness.
Happy Brewing!
