Use a blender to mix following together well:

-      a piece of fresh ginger, about the size of a large grape

-      a good tablespoon of honey

-      a half teaspoon of dried turmeric from your herbs shelf (or i cm of fresh tumeric)

-      a half tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

-      a sprig of thyme or 3 sprinkles of thyme from your herbs shelf

-      2 or 3 sprinkles of dried powdered chilli from your herbs shelf (or a 1/2 cm of fresh chilli)

-      juice of a quarter of a lemon

-      a 1/2 cm of liquorice root and / or two or three liquorice lollies!

-      2 - 3 cups of water

Then cook on high for two minutes in the microwave in a large covered bowl.
Stir, let cool and store it in a glass jar with a lid in your fridge.

If you have a cold or when you feel you need to clear your sinus or chest,
or just to have every few days as a preventative measure if you are prone to asthma or sinusitis,

Pour a little into the bottom of a tall glass (vary to taste) and add the following before drinking:

-      warm water

-      or tap water (It is good if you also add the juice of a freshly squeezed orange before adding the water)

-      or sparkling mineral water and ice (it actually makes a nice drink/ alcohol substitute especially if you add some freshly
                                                                                             squeezed orange juice and put a bit less apple cider vinegar!)

-    In your second batch, you could vary the ingredients to what suits your taste.
