Herbal Remedies: Sore Throat


Autumn is well and truly here. The remains of my beautiful green herb garden are fading into hibernation. Lucky I harvested the majority of my herbs and air-dried them in my kitchen.  It's hard to avoid getting sick at this time of year. The changing season brings with all sorts of bugs and typically I've got a sore throat.  Thank goodness for James Wong's Sage and Honey Remedy. 






INGREDIENTS:

1 large bunch of dried sage leaves
Enough runny honey to cover the leaves

1. Cover the dried sage with honey.
2. Simmer gentle for 1 hour.
3. Allow to cool.
4. Strain the honey and put in a small sterilized bottle.

USE: Take 1 tsp to sooth your throat 3-4 times a day when needed.Use to sweeten hot lemon drinks for cold and flu. Keep for 6 months.
