The summer head cold. (Tomato Tea)

The last few days Scott and I have had a summer head cold. we’ve taken OTC meds and they reek havoc on our sleeping schedules. We’ve gone from not sleeping, to sleeping 12+ hours to not sleeping and back again. Neither of us have been on the same schedule at the same time.

As I sit here this morning, I’m sipping on a new tea. New to me. This tea isn’t anything you can buy in the grocery store,Ã‚Â health food store, or even order online. I’ve been up for a couple hours and have been quite miserable with the coughing and congestion. About 5 minutes ago I pulled my tea out and warmed up a cup, and WOW! I feel the effects already.

If I had taken one of the OTC’s or even a prescription medication, there is no way that it would have started working by now. Most medications have adverse effects on me. If its a nighttime medication, I will be up all night, and vice-versa for Daytime meds. Now and then something will work, but it doesn’t usually work the next time I’m sick.

So on with it, I know that you are wondering what this new “miracle” tea may be. Well here’s the recipe:

Recipe: Tomato Tea

Ingredients

2 cups V8 Juice
2-3 cloves Garlic crushed (use more if you can)
2 T Lemon
Juice Hot Sauce (the more the better, so as much as you can handle)

Instructions

Mix and heat in a pan or in the microwave. Sip slowly and re-warm as needed to get the full effects of the fumes. Let it sit in the back of your throat to bathe it. Suck the fumes through your sinuses and also down into your lungs. Its all natural and healthy, so drink as much of it as you want or need until you are SURE the infection is gone. This is past the time when you “feel better.”
