If you want to make a version that kids will take, make it with chicken broth as a base and put the garlic and ginger through a food processor to make a puree. Nix the cayenne- its not too harsh for kids. Use it to cook with before flu season starts or during the changing of the seasons. I have a weak immune system due to injuries from a car accident and used to get sick all the time. I started this three years ago and I have not been sick since. Using fresh ingredients is very important.
This works great if you heat up the liquids first and let the garlic/ginger sit in the warm liquid, when it cools to room temp strain out the garlic & ginger peices; I use a syrup made from rose-hips for colds and it zaps it out of you. 2 T rose hips, 1pint water, boil 10-15 minutes until hips split and "give it up", cool & strain. Either take 1 tsp straight (great for sore throats) or put it in a cup of hot water like tea, sweetening is fine. Its a tad bitter on its own.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!! Rose-hips!!!!!!! ~lol~ My mother used to pull out the rose-hips whenever a cold was lurking! The vitamin C wi/rose-hips normally, but ONCE in a WHIIILE, she'd make TEA out of it! Bleeyaachhh! lol ~Ah, memories!;)
This is a good thing but I'd juice this mixture.I have friends that have this for 6 months in the refrigerator.

Is botulism a risk here due to the garlic? Or does the lemon juice increase acidity enough to prevent this?
