Cloves, Cinnamon, Anise and Best Home Remedies for Colds
Cloves, Cinnamon, Anise and Best Home Remedies for Colds: Bring cold water to a boil. Add eight or more whole cloves, two or three cinnamon sticks, one full-circle star anise, a peeled whole ginger root that has been cracked in a few places (cut long, shallow cuts into various parts of it), bring back to a boil, then simmer for almost forty-five minutes. Add honey to the individual glasses of tea.
