Rosemary & Cider

From U.K The Guardian, Tuesday 3 March 2009
Cherry Chappell has compiled a vast compendium of traditional homemade remedies. Here is a selection of the best - some sound sensible, while many are bewildering.
Colds

The following two remedies were reported in the Women's Institute magazine Home & Country.

"Rosemary and cider

Boil a sprig of rosemary in half a pint of cider for 15 minutes and drink it at bedtime as hot as possible. It is advisable to drink when in bed as it causes great perspiration."

"Elderflower and peppermint

For colds, inflammations etc. take a handful of elderflower and one of peppermint, put in a jug and pour over it one and a half pints of boiling water. Let it steep for 30 minutes on the hob. Strain and sweeten with black treacle or honey. Drink hot in bed. The more you drink, the sooner the cure will be effected."
