Ingredients
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
- 1 cup warm water
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for added relief)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic and Lemon: Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Squeeze the juice from the lemon, ensuring to remove any seeds.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl or cup, combine the minced garlic, honey (if using), lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Add Warm Water: Pour the warm water into the mixture and stir well to ensure everything is blended together.
- Let it Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the garlic to release its beneficial properties.
- Drink the Remedy: Drink the mixture while it’s still warm, ideally on an empty stomach. This can be taken twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed—for three days.
- Repeat: Continue this remedy for 3 days and see if it helps clear up your cough.
Tips:
- If you don’t like the taste of garlic, you can add more honey to sweeten the drink.
- The warm water helps soothe the throat, while the garlic and lemon provide natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
