I got this recipe from my doctor (who's Nigerian). Works wonders for our family. Smash a paracetamol (or your fave pain killer) in a mortar & pestle. Add a few black peppercorns & cinnamon and reduce to a powder. If you like the taste of cloves, add one whole clove and reduce to powder. Add two teaspoons of natural brown sugar if you like it sweet. Mix well. Shred a good knob of juicy ginger. Try not to lose the juice! Put all ingredients into a thick-walled hi-ball tumbler or mug with the juice of 3-4 lemons and one lime. Half-fill the tumbler/mug with near-boiling water, stirring well. Introduce two tablespoons of natural honey. Stir and mix thoroughly. Add two good measures of your fave distilled alcohol (vodka, whiskey, rum, brandy etc). Top up with the near-boiling water, stirring well. Next, take two good squirts of a decent decongestant/sinus relief spray (Otrivine) up the nostrils. Sip half the hot mixture for 10 minutes then blow the nose clear of all the crud that will form. Finish the hot drink and wrap yourself warm in bed. Sleep if you can. Repeat every 4 hours. Stay warm and sleep if you can. Obviously, don't go driving or operating machinery during the treatment.
