Whisky
Mix a cup of boiling milk, a tea spoon of baking soda and some tea spoons of honey. Drink this all and go to bed. Take some potatoes, boil them without peeling them. Cover yourself with a warm blanket, take the bowl with cooked potatoes and breeze in the steam. Breeze in with your mouth and breeze out with your nose. Repeat if necessary.Some people don't believe in it, but it works. A Private recipe**: Make your favorite hot drink, take your favorite magazine or put on your favorite movie, or music or whatever you like the most, and enjoy it being in bed. Pamper yourself by doing the things you've always wanted to do but never had the time to do. Do your nails, try a *new make-up, make yourself a face massage if you are a female... Just totally relax for 24 hours and there's no flu!
Brew a tea. In this tea you should put a lemon cut into for parts (like a cross) some pieces of ginger, some garlic and pieces of cinnamon using the husks . Of course you can a cold medicine tablet with it. winter recipe.
Jose's recipe is the same as my grandmother's and it really works (at least it did when I was a little girl)! I've been trying a new version for some time, taking out the garlic and adding some cognac - and it still works like magic!
Honey to add to your ginger, garlic and lemon tea. It works for me and my family Don't worry too much about the smell of garlic because when you've got the flu, nobody is going to come close to you! Honey to cure and sooth a sore throat if you gurgle it
A grandpa recipe which used to work for him is: drink hot lemon (peel) tea with honey and then go to bed.
A very hot cup of milk with lots of honey. A shot of whisky in a very hot tea and then straight to bed would certainly work
A tea spoon of rum and a spoonfull of honey, mix it very well until it's liquified, take it and go straight to bed. To help you breed better, cut the newer branches of a eucalyptus tree and boil the leaves. Pour the water with the leaves into a basin and take it to bed. Cover yourself with the blanket and inhale the steam for as long as you can take. Don't get out of bed after this! Also, be careful not to wet the bed :)
Boil dry mint leaves and some slices of lemon in some water. But what works best for me is the medicine "Tylol Hot" sold in pharmacies, which you also put into hot, boiling water and drink. However, while breastfeeding Derya recommends to wait for the flu to leave alone.
A ginger tea (use the root not the powder).
There are two things to eat to stay healthy: garlic and lemon.
Take a spoon full of bee honey first thing in the morning.
A double whisky, a good book and bed at least make you more comfortable, if not cured;-)
Home Version Rub Vodka on the chest and Back Rub Vodka on a sheet of Plastic and place on chest Put on a T-Shirt Wrap a towel around back and shoulders Put on sweater Finish off the Bottle of Vodka doing shots with a friend I'm Angeles from Mexico. One of the remedies my moher used to give us was a hot milk cup. She adds some garlic to the milk and it was really disgusting to eat it (XD) but effective!!!!. I do something different with my children. I give them a hot cinnamon and hot milk cup and prepares for them an onion soup, too. They like both remedies and get well quickly. Hope you like these sugestions.
Aguardente queimada Hi everybody :-) I’m glad we have a wiki to share our cultural differences and “cuisine” secrets. You asked for a whisky remedy? Well, I know this recipe from when I was a child. My father prepared it and we took it all four (mum, dad, my sister and I). Here it is: 1. put a plate on a table (choose an old one!) 2. fill it’s bottom with “aguardente” (I don’t know how to say this in English, but it looks like whisky) 3. light up a match and burn the “aguardente” in the plate 4. while it is burning, make circular movements with a spoon to help the process 5. don’t worry! the little fire extinguishes quickly 6. have your burnt “aguardente” remedy with a spoon. Don’t wait until it gets cold! Take it very hot. Huuummm, it’s so good ;-) and hot. Maybe this was how I learnt to appreciate a nice glass of Port Wine ;-)
Language Note: “Aguardente” is a Portuguese compound noun with this equivalent meaning in English – burning water?. It results from a fermentation and distillation process of wine grapes (similar to the French cognac).
Hope you try it and let me know how it went, Hughs to all of U
Butter and hot milk
My little contibution to the Flu home remedies around the world page. In fact, this is a remedy for coughing.
Ingredients: .- A mug of very hot milk. .- A coffeespoon of butter .- Honey
.-. Mix everything and that's it. Drink it before going to bed.
I know you may frown at the taste, but my kids used to ask for it at nights when they got the flu.
_Language-cultural note regarding "Aguardente"_ I think it's called "Rum" in English(if it's similar to whisky). Here in Venezuela, we have "Aguardiente" but it is transparent, similar to cachaza in Brazil (and of course the brown "Ron"- Rum)
Hope it's good for you. Nahir Aparicio. Caracas-Venezuela.
Kazakhstan Vodka When in Kazakhstan I got the Flu once and this remedy seemed to work wonders.
My Girlfriend rubbed Vodka on my back and chest. Then she put some vodka on a sheet of plastic and put it on my chest and I put on a T-Shirt. Then a Towel on my shoulders and a sweater on top of that. At that point we proceeded to finish the bottle of Vodka. It worked and I felt great and never had any more symptoms.
Also I was in an Adult Beverge Establishment and a guy I knew put a teaspoon of Black Pepper in a shot of Vodka and stirred it and down it went. He went home, took a hot shower and came back with no symptoms.
I guess Vodka is a cure or evrything. It's not very popular in Saudi Arabia but it works.

Cafe Version Put a spoonful of Black Pepper in a shot of Vodka and stir Down the hatch
Also about the past flu problem I think onion is a good solution. Thirteen years ago there was a great flu attack in Ankara and all of my friends were ill. I was the only one who didn't catch it but back then I was eating one onion a day! Call me a psycho!! :)
Also regular exercise and regular vitamin cure is great if you don't want to catch flu! Well, that's all from me about flu problem. Kağan Sütçü İstanbul, Türkiye

Karkadeh Juice for all participants! It is a very well know herb in Sudan. Karkadeh is also known as Hibiscus sabdariffa.Rich in pectin and citric acid, its medicinal properties can lower blood pressure, it is highly recommended for people who have high blood pressure, aid digestion and kidney function, and to treat colds, fever and congestion Karkadeh can be served as hot and cold drink.
What a delicious, healthy gift!
This seems to be the same drink that is known as Agua de Jamaica ('Jamaica Water' / 'Hibiscus Water') in México. The plant is definitely the same: see this link.
Dennis in Phoenix
What a great lesson that will be for my students,Dennis! It is really interesting to know all these names for one plant, one use!
Thanks Hala
I thought exactly the same thing, Hala! I hope the information is useful.

A Folk Tea from the South-Central U.S. (by way of Arizona!)
Both of my grandmothers made this tea, but always hot, never iced. They also served it only during the springtime as a blood thinner. It's made from the roots of young sassafras trees.
And Some Wild Hickory Nut Cake
My mother used to make it when I was a child; its most important ingredient was wild hickory nuts (which are something like English walnuts but smaller and sweeter). It looked like this, but the recipe was more like this one.
Dennis in Phoenix Lobster from Maine Maine lobster are the best - and the winter clams can't be beat.

GOODY BAGS In England at the end of children's parties the kids all go away with a "goody bag" (is it the same in other countries?). Well, I'll bring the goody bags (unless you'd like me to bring some English food or fresh rainwater - lots of it). In the goody bags you will find:
a foam wedge cushion for keeping good posture while at your computer a gel-filled wrist-rest for preventing carpel tunnel syndrome a big present for your partner/family/friends who haven't seen much of you recently a book on face-to-face communication skills (cos you've probably forgotten how) a special keyboard with an extra button that gives you a direct link to the Webheads whenever you have a problem a special brain implant to help you memorise passwords and everything you've learnt on this coursea a seat on a new World Parliament for each of you (if BaWers ruled the world- just imagine what a nicer place it'd be) a reusable hug (just get it out of the box whenever you're in need) a bucket of rainwater from England (no,no, I insist, I know this last gift is perhaps over-generous but since it seems to have rained here non-stop since BaW07 started I feel I should share it with you)
And (for moderators and thread people only) a holiday in the destination of your choice (Dubai, Moira?), you deserve it.
Johanna Well Johanna, I looooove your(our) goody bag!! It is the same here is Sudan in kids' parties! I wish I could have the keyboard and the brain implant! Thanks. I will take mine at tthe party( bring extra ones just in case)
Now, now, Hala, don't be greedy - just one bag each!(Johanna) Mole and Enchiladas Potosinas from Mexico.
Mole on top of the Enchiladas of course
Enchiladas Potosinas with cream
To view more about the Enchiladas Potosinas check the link, the English version is still under construction! http://www.enchiladaspotosinassupremas.com/ They are delicious and very easy to prepare, you just need to fry them or use the microwave and that is all! That is if, like me At the Spanish version link you will see the famous 'Caja del Agua' it is San Luis Potosí symbol - my home town- wherever I see it I feel transported home... Btw, I have a wooden replica in my Toluca house. You wil see it when you come to visit. Mi casa es su casa. Love: Maru
Lots of love, Nina Lyulkun
...an ice sculpture for our garden (especially for Hala in warm Sudan) This is what you would have seen if you had been wandering around Tallinn with me yesterday (Independence Day here in Estonia). |
...and here is the Live Entertainment for our party!!! (if you have trouble seeing the clip, do a search for "Amazing Juggling Finale" (Google Video)
Happy graduation, everybody!!! with hugs from SusanW
PS If I am late arriving at the party, please make my pet feel at home. He will be happy to answer any personal questions if you feed him first. Here are his favorites: Why are you green? What are you doing in Estonia? How did you get there? (If you don't speak penguin, I will be happy to translate!)
What should a librarian bring? A book of course! This one, by beloved Dr. Seuss, has become a classic graduation gift in the U.S.
In Dr. Seuss' words at the end of the book:
"So... be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Allen O'Shea, you're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way!"
With much love and gratitude I cheer us all on... Sarah Braxton
It's time for more Argentinian food!
Since now you all know what mate is thanks to Mabel,I brought some "facturas con dulce de leche". Some of them are similar to "croissants" but a bit smaller and they are filled with sweet milk caramel. It just reminds me of the sweetness in this group. Thank you all for this fantastic experience!!! Carla Raguseo
First, the music I love "Power to the People" which is what this Digital Age is all about! Here, Black Eyed Peas interpret John Lennon's orginal song for Amnesty International
And a little something to print :-)
Stand far away and you'll see (I hope) what it is ;-) 
Thank you all for making this BaW07 very special!
Moira
