• one big nub of ginger root
• one whole lemon (meyer is best)
• hot water

skin the ginger root with the edge of a spoon.
grate coursely.
toss into one of those plunger pots.
squeeze the lemon -- if it's organic toss the whole thing in.
add hot water and steep.

pour off a cup and toss in a dollop of honey.
drink down and pray that it will banish the demons who have stolen your voice and replaced it with a horrible raspy cough.

Oh dear. I hope you'll be back to drinking wine soon...on the other hand, maybe wine is just what you need to power through it.
I'll be trying this today, since I'm sounding a bit like Peppermint Patty myself. Or Brenda Vaccarro. Or Yosemite Sam when Joe-Henry ignores me. The little varmint. Excellent recipe, my friend. If you need a literary Chicken Soup (without resortiing to those dreadful "Chicken Soup...." books), check out Laurie Colwin's "Homecooking" and "More Homecooking". A good cuddle up and some of that yummy tea, you'll be right as rain in no time.

I've been wanting your secret recipe for some time now - just sorry it had to come to this. Hope you're feeling better today :)
