Best Aussie Cold Flu Remedy Recipes
WARM ORANGE SPICE DRINK FOR COLD & FLU
I created this drink when I felt a bad cold coming on, and wanted a tasty way to keep it at bay. Oranges provide vitamin C, honey soothes sore throats, cinnamon helps relive nausea, clove quells coughs, and ginger root aids in clearing the sinuses. Also a delicious, warming beverage for those chilly winter days.

A favorite remedy for cold and flu. Effective, easy to make and tasty, though not for the weak of heart. Make a batch before the cold season starts. This recipe is out of Rosemary Gladstar's book "Herbs for the Home Medicine Chest" - A must have book for any herb lover!

COLD AND FLU REMEDY....CONGESTION BE GONE!
This is a tea I have concocted after trying several combinations to help ease chest congestion and asthma symptoms. This delicious tea makes breathing easier especially if you have a cold or mild asthma. Most of these ingredients have a medicinal role in helping chest congestion and or helping to relieve asthma.

IRISH WHISKEY & HONEY REMEDY
Cold and Flu season are here. As a child, I used to get sick quite a bit and always seemed to get a nasty cough. My grandmother used to prepare this drink for me, it really helped and tasted so good (since I was a child, she didn't add a full shot of whiskey, but she did add some). The drink worked and by the next day, my cough was better. As an adult, I still prepare this drink when I get a cold. It may not cure you completely, but it will make you feel better and soothe your soul too :)

Steps:
- Dissolve the baking soda in the water and drink it. (Preferably quickly, the taste is not very good).
- It should give you relief very quickly (but also cause an uncontrollable burp.).
- I have also heard that a spoonful of vinegar or peppermint or chamomile tea will help, but this is what I take when it is bad and I need immediate relief.
