This is a lovely recipe for soothing a sore throat and simple to make.
3 cloves
5 peppermint leaves, chopped
5 sage leaves, chopped or torn into small pieces
30 mls of Echinacea tincture, or I use 4 echinacea tea bags put into a small glass jug with 50mls of water and leave it to brew for a few hours, then cool.
Place the cloves, peppermint and sage leaves into a glass jar (or add to the cold tea), add the tincture (if using), cover and leave to stand in a cool dark place for two weeks. Gradually the colour will change.
After two weeks strain the liquid through a loose-weaved muslin places in a strainer, squeeze, the liquid and herbs carefully by hand. Filter this liquid into a sterilised dark glass spray bottle.
