Take my husband, please. The sequel.

Doesn't that involve garlic, ginger and, er, something else (possibly the wash water from socks)? Our QA gal is part Japanese (and part Jewish, which probably makes for an extremely interesting Thanksgiving table), this is her recipe for tea for getting well:

1. Slice 2~3 cloves of garlic and fry 'em good in a little bit (not too much) of extra virgin olive oil until tender. DO NOT BURN THEM.
2. Grate 1" of ginger, or use one good squeeze from a tube of fresh grated ginger. DO NOT USE POWDERED GINGER.
3. Boil water and brew your favorite tea in a tea pot-- green or black. Go with plain flavor.
4. Prepare 2 lemon wedges.
5. Place the fried garlic and grated ginger in a big mug, pour the tea, and squeeze a lemon wedge over it. Put a tsp of sugar if needed.
6. Stir the concoction a little and let it sit for half a minute.
7. Eat the garlic first, then drink the "tea". You may split the toppings and have two servings, but you have to finish the garlic and ginger.
8. A good dash of cayenne pepper is sometimes handy to kill your taste buds and numb your throat.

Do you think Bear would like Hawaii? I could teach him Tahitian dancing. Great for the waistline.
