This recipe has been passed down through my family for generations. My great-grandmother used to make it for us whenever we were sick. She would always say that it was the best way to get rid of a cold or the flu. I've been making it for my own family for years, and I've found that it really does work. I've also found that it's a great way to warm up on a cold day or to soothe a sore throat.
