pala tuoretta inkiv\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4
sitruuna
juoksevaa hunajaa
tiiviskantinen lasipurkki<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pese inkiv\u00e4\u00e4ri ja sitruuna l\u00e4mpim\u00e4ll\u00e4 vedell\u00e4. Luomulaatuiset ovat luultavasti parhaimmat sill\u00e4 t\u00e4t\u00e4 juomaa varten niit\u00e4 ei kuorita. Pilko tai raasta inkiv\u00e4\u00e4ri ja viipaloi sitruuna pieniksi paloiksi. Laita palat lasipurkkiin. Valuta p\u00e4\u00e4lle juoksevaa hunajaa niin paljon ett\u00e4 kaikki palat ovat uppeluksissa. Hunaja est\u00e4\u00e4 palojen homehtumisen. Sulje kansi ja anna tekeyty\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4kaapissa pari viikkoa. Ravista purkkia v\u00e4lill\u00e4, voit my\u00f6s k\u00e4\u00e4nt\u00e4\u00e4 sit\u00e4 niin ett\u00e4 pohjalle valunut hunaja valuu toiseen suuntaan. Parin viikon p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 juoma on valmista k\u00e4ytett\u00e4v\u00e4ksi. Hunaja on itsess\u00e4\u00e4n hyvin s\u00e4ilyv\u00e4 ja s\u00e4il\u00f6v\u00e4 sill\u00e4 se on antibakteerinen. Juoma s\u00e4ilyy j\u00e4\u00e4kaapissa hyvin pitki\u00e4kin aikoja, kunhan huolehtii siit\u00e4 ett\u00e4 purkin kansi pysyy puhtaana ja tiiviin\u00e4 ja ett\u00e4 purkkiin lis\u00e4tyt uudet inkiv\u00e4\u00e4rin ja sitruunan palat peittyv\u00e4t aina kokonaan<\/strong> hunajaan. Jos kuitenkin huomaat seoksessa hometta s\u00e4ilytyksen aikana, heit\u00e4 se kokonaan pois ja aloita uudella seoksella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ota maun mukaan 3-5 teelusikallista mukiin ja kaada p\u00e4\u00e4lle kuumaa vett\u00e4. Itse otan kuppiin aina my\u00f6s inkiv\u00e4\u00e4rin ja sitruunan paloja sill\u00e4 kuuma vesi irrottaa niist\u00e4 viel\u00e4 lis\u00e4\u00e4 makuaineita. Palat voi toki my\u00f6s sy\u00f6d\u00e4, mutta itse en tee niin. Juoma helpottaa kurkun \u00e4rsytyst\u00e4 ja ysk\u00e4\u00e4 ja lievitt\u00e4\u00e4 nen\u00e4n tukkoisuutta. Itse juon juoman aina mahdollisimman kuumana, mutta halutessaan voi toki antaa sen my\u00f6s j\u00e4\u00e4hty\u00e4. Juomaa voi yht\u00e4 hyvin ottaa ennaltaehk\u00e4isev\u00e4n\u00e4 tai flunssan oireisiin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Inkiv\u00e4\u00e4rill\u00e4 sanotaan olevan paljon terveysvaikutuksia. Sit\u00e4 on perinteisesti k\u00e4ytetty paljon mm. vatsaoireiden ja kuukautiskipujen hoitoon, suun tulehdusten hoitoon ja pahoinvointiin. Itse koen inkiv\u00e4\u00e4rin eteeristen \u00f6ljyjen avaavan hengitysteit\u00e4 ja helpottavan pahoinvointia. Pid\u00e4n inkiv\u00e4\u00e4rin mausta joten lis\u00e4\u00e4n sit\u00e4 juomaan aina reilusti, mutta kokeilemalla l\u00f6yd\u00e4t itsellesi mieluisen sekoitussuhteen. Raskaana oleville inkiv\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4 ei suositella. Sitruuna on perinteinen flunssal\u00e4\u00e4ke, sill\u00e4 se sis\u00e4lt\u00e4\u00e4 paljon terveellist\u00e4 C-vitamiinia joka parantaa vastustuskyky\u00e4. Kuumennus tuhoaa C-vitamiinia ja se liukenee kiehuvaan veteen. En kuitenkaan l\u00f6yt\u00e4nyt oikein mit\u00e4\u00e4n j\u00e4rkev\u00e4\u00e4 tietoa siit\u00e4 ett\u00e4 jos vain lis\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n kuumaa vett\u00e4, s\u00e4ilyyk\u00f6 vitamiini siin\u00e4 vedess\u00e4. Teoriassa sen kai pit\u00e4isi? Hunajan tapaan sitruuna on my\u00f6s antibakteerinen. Hunajan sanotaan olevan varsinaista superfoodia. Sit\u00e4 se varmasti onkin, onhan se mehil\u00e4isten ravintoa. Hunaja rentouttaa, edist\u00e4\u00e4 ruuansulatusta ja lievitt\u00e4\u00e4 karheaa kurkkua. Hunaja antaa juomaan my\u00f6s miellytt\u00e4v\u00e4\u00e4 makeutta ja tasaa inkiv\u00e4\u00e4rin pist\u00e4vyytt\u00e4 ja sitruunan kirpeytt\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n Years and years ago I read an article about a korean woman. I don’t remember who she was or where I read the article, but what I do remember, is the korean flu remedy, which was mentioned in the article\/interview. She told in the article that this is something she always keeps in her fridge. Ever since then I have also made this very easy and tasty drink. Now when the flu season is on and when the covid is again activating itself over the Winter, I will share this base remedy of my home apotechary. You can of course drink it also when ever, if you like the flavours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Korean flu remedy<\/strong> Wash ginger root and lemon with warm water. Organic ginter and lemon are probably best, because for this recipe they are not peeled. Chop or grate ginger root and slice lemon into small bits. Put them all in glass jar. Pour ontop lots of runny honey. Make sure all bits are well submerged under the honey. Honey prevents it getting moldy. Close the lid and allow to sit in the fridge for couple of weeks. Shake the jar every now and then, or you can even turn it upside down. Honey has the tendency to go to the bottom of the jar, so turning the jar makes it pour to the other direction. After couple of weeks, it is ready for use. Honey itself is well preservative because it’s antibacterial. This remedy will last very long periods of time in the fridge, as long as you make sure that the lid stays clean and tightly sealed and that all new bits of ginger and lemon added to the jar are always completely<\/strong> submerged with honey. However, if the mix goes moldy, throw it all away and start over with new batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take 3-5 tea spoons of remedy into your cup and pour hot water ontop. I usually always take also some ginger and lemon bits, because hot water will solve more flavours off them. You can also eat the bits, but I never do. This infusion gives relief to the rough throat and cough and opens up blocked airways. I always drink it as hot as I can, but if you like, you can also allow it to cool down. You can use it as preventative remedy as well as for the flu symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is said that ginger has lot of health benefits. It’s been traditionally used a lot for stomach problems, period pain, mouth problems and nausea. I myself find the essential oils of ginger opening my airways and easing the nausea. I like the flavour of ginger, so I always add a lot of it, but you can try and find the amount to your liking. Ginger is not recommended for those who are pregnant. Lemon is traditional flu remedy, because it has lot of vitamin C which improves the resistance. Heating will destroy vitamin C and it solves into boiling water. However I didn’t find proper information if it’s still good if just adding hot water. I mean technically it should still stay in the water, right? Like honey, lemon is also anti-bacterial. Honey is supposedly a super food. It must be, because bees live on it. Honey relaxes, eases up the rough throat and improves digestion. Honey also gives pleasant sweetness to the remedy and balances the sting of the ginger and bitterness of the lemon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Joskus vuosia sitten satuin lukemaan lehtijutun korealaisesta naisesta. En yht\u00e4\u00e4n muista kuka se oli, tai miss\u00e4 lehdess\u00e4 juttu oli, mutta mieleeni j\u00e4i jutussa mainittu korealainen flunssal\u00e4\u00e4ke, jota nainen piti aina j\u00e4\u00e4kaapissa varalla. Siit\u00e4 l\u00e4htien olen itsekin tehnyt t\u00e4t\u00e4 eritt\u00e4in helppoa ja hyv\u00e4nmakuista juomaa. Nyt flussakauden ollessa p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 ja koronan n\u00e4in talvikaudella taas aktivoituessa ajattelin jakaa… <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif?resize=214%2C100\")
