Sip & Soothe

If you have a sore throat, making and sipping this herbal remedy may help. Peel and finely chop a thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger root; peel 1 garlic clove; pick 10 mint leaves. Now place the ginger, garlic, and mint in the center of a clean piece of cheesecloth or muslin, or an unused coffee filter, draw up the sides, and tie a piece of string above the ingredients to form a bag. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add the bag, boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Add the juice of 2 lemons and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.

Fruit picking tips

If you are able to pick your own fruit, and would like to prevent it from spoiling too quickly, follow the advice given in Lake’s Almanack (1628). “If you would have fruits to keep long, then let them not be over-ripe on the tree and gather them about the first or last quarters of the moon.”
