Sinus Tea
"A tea to help with head colds. The lemon juice and apple cider vinegar both contain vitamin C to boost the immune system, and help break up mucus. The honey and ginger are antiseptic, and the ginger further helps break up mucus. The chamomile is chosen mostly because it's a mild, decafe tea that blends well with the other flavors. The whiskey is good for sore throats, but should not be added if you are taking an antibiotic."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm an American English teacher living and working in Japan. The fast food here is not so great, so I spend a lot of time cooking and trying new recipes.
I grew up in an Italian-American household, so I'm used to good Italian home cooking. I learned a lot from my family, but also use cookbooks regularly. I mostly cook Italian and Asian-fusion dishes, Irish soups, and some traditional Japanese dishes. I love having so many fresh Asian ingredients readily available, but I miss the shelves of an American supermarket just as much!
I love being a teacher, and my other hobbies include photography, knit & crochet, and playing guitar & singing.
