I have been down with a nasty cold for the past few days, and I wanted to come up with something nice to drink - something that would keep me warm and... well... help me get rid of the mucus. This is what I came up with.
FLUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS
0.5 liter of water
1-1.5 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh ginger
2-3 dried eucalyptus leaves
the juice of half a (small) lemon
1. Bring the water to the boil in a pan.
2. While the water is heating, peel the ginger and chop it finely.
3. When the water starts boiling, turn off the heat.
4. Add the ginger, the eucalyptus leaves and the lemon juice into the water.
5. Cover the pan and allow to steep for about 10 minutes.
6. Pour the drink through a sieve, removing all the solids.
6. Enjoy.
