So this morning I woke up with a really bad sore throat and remembered my grandmothers remedy for it.
1 grapefruit
1 orange
1 lemon
a sprig of mint
4 quarts water
1 tablespoon of honey
cut all the fruits in half, break up the sprig of mint and boil for about 40-60 minutes. Everything will break down nicely.
Pour into a cup and add honey. Drink hot.
This does work well, I've never really looked into it but I'm sure the vitamin C has something to do with it as well as the citric acid. The mint acts as a diuretic and helps clean out your system.
Whatever it is it woks great.
