Treatment of a cough
My beloved does NOT respond well to only pharmacist-only cough suppressant that is made with dextromethorphan and synthetic sweeteners.
So I am engaging in cauldron-adjacent #HomeRemedies.
To a scant 250mL of boiled water I have added a heaped teaspoon each of rubbed sage and thyme and a generous grind of black pepper. I simmered this for a few minutes and stirred in a good teaspoon of local honey.
Next I strained a tin of sliced pineapple for the juice (80mL or so).
I then sieved the herbal infusion through a fine tea strainer, added half the pineapple juice and a dozen drops or so of #ElixirVegetal de la Grande-Chartreuse.
It smells amazing and tastes nice with a warming afterglow from the black pepper.
I hope it settles the cough and soothes the throat.
