Como fazer Warm Cough And Flu Remedy

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 cinnamon stick (or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon), and 5 whole cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the water.
Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of molasses. Let the mixture steep for another 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and ginger. Discard solids or compost.
Serve warm or hot. For a stronger flavor, leave the ginger and spices in the liquid while steeping, and strain before each serving. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more honey or diluting with warm water.
Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.
