Moxie's Cold Cure All

I've never heard of this now defunct restaurant in Portland, OR but people swear by this for a cold remedy.  Using echinacea (a good thing) and the ginger and cayenne will clear the sinuses.

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp honey or light agave syrup
1 tsp finely grated peeled ginger
1/4 tsp super echinacea extract (if you can't find the extract at your favorite super market and don't feel like going to a health food store, use a tea bag of the stuff)
pinch of cayenne

Combine all ingredients in a mug with 1 cup boiling water, stirring until honey is dissolved.  Let sit one minute.  If using a tea bag, go by their instructions for steeping.

Feel better soon!
