Pour hot water over several chopped cloves of garlic. Let set 6 to 8 hours.
Use as a tonic, for sore throats, flu and cold symptoms, or try for anything that ails. It can't hurt.
Or, you can crush and dilute, use with cool water and sip several times throughout the day.
Eat no onions or garlic, for we are to utter sweet breath.
- Shakespeare
