Paula's Grandma Lena's Cold and Flu Medicine

FLAX SEED TEA
Per 1 cup of almost boiling hot water steep 1 tsp of freshly ground dark flax seed for 5 to 15 minutes. Strain.
Add tsp of lemon juice
and 1 tsp of honey cinnamon blend (see below)
Add more honey to taste if desired.
Sip throughout day as desired.

Knocks a cold or flu virus right out of ya! My cold lived for 3 days. Poor sucker didn't have a chance.
I usually make it by the pitcher and keep it in the fridge to heat up in the microwave when we wish to use it. I also have us take about 3 Tbsp a day to keep us in good health when we are not ill.
And for those who do not wish to waste anything, the strained flax seeds are an excellent addition to hot cereal. Keep in fridge to use as desired within the week.

HONEY CINNAMON BLEND
2 parts honey
1 part cinnamon
I make about a cup worth and keep to use to put in my coffee, tea, oatmeal and on toast. Needs no refrigeration.
Not only does it help get rid of illness, but a tsp a day is a good preventative medicine.
