Shared in a class by Michael Tierra ~ International Herb Symposium
Author Michael Tierra

Ingredients

  • 1 part black pepper
  • 1 part ginger root
  • 2 parts anise seeds

Instructions

  • Powder (or grind herbs in a coffee grinder or similar)
  • Add to warmed honey to make a type of oxymel, in a small pot on the stove.
  • Remember to use low heat to bring the ingredients together but not 'cook'.
  • Remove from the stove as soon as mixed together and warm.
  • Store in a glass jar.

Notes

Take ½ teaspoon 2x daily to soothe coughs and colds and dispel mucus
This is more of a guideline. I've used ginger, grated instead of powdered (as I rarely have powdered ginger on hand.)
I've used a coffee/spice grinder or a mortar/pestle..
You are looking for a syrupy consistency.
Too little honey = a paste but this is also very effective.
Add more honey to create a runny aromatic infused honey!
