Tulsi and honey mix

I am totally against cold and cough medicines and usually offer it to my daughter with great reluctance. The recent bout of cold that attacked me and my kids made dig out some old home-made recipes to ward off colds. FYI, most cold medicines are quite useless and sometimes, dangerous (usually because of the chances of an overdose), for kids under 3 years of age.

Tulsi, honey mix

Ingredients:
10 leaves of tulsi
1 teaspoon honey
some warm warm
a small piece of muslin cloth

Method:
Wet the tulsi leaves in warm water and tie it together in the muslin cloth. Pound the leaves with a pestle and extract the juice of the tulsi. Mix it with the honey and your home-made cough and cold remedy is ready.
