After four hours of relentless and sleepless night hacking, despite cold medicine and a quarter sleeping pill, I was about to take my husband to the hospital. At 2am I mixed this up (with all fresh ingredients and quality honey) and he was just delirious enough to accept my, "witch medicine." 10 minutes, and no coughing later, he feel gently asleep to mumbles of, "your spicy honey fixed me...." Slept through the night soundly and he even asked to bottle up a "potion" and take it to work the next morning. Awesome. (I also skipped the water, added extra apple cider vinegar and honey, used minced ginger, and blended it all with an electric wand. Might add a clove of garlic next time. Medicine is not sup. to taste good.)
