I'm a big fan of The Nerdy Farm Wife, and this recipe sounded like something good to pass along as everyone seems to be sick right now-
Ginger and lemon balm cold and flu syrup
I won't say 'enjoy', because if you're using it you're not feeling very well...
Use it in good health, perhaps?
In Anglo-Saxon- the place where the people grow plants
This is my blog where I'll post gardening ideas, recipes for things you can (mostly) grow in your own garden, and the results of my experiments. There will probably be a few posts on medieval herbalism as well.

Update on the horehound
So, I've had a chance to use human guinea pigs due to the tenacious cough that's going around this month. My daughter says that putting a sprig of horehound into her favourite herbal tea (with lots of honey to help with the 'funny' taste) did help her a bit with her cough. I have a couple co-workers who have had a cough for about a month now, so I'm giving them some snippings from my plant to try. I've asked them to give me feedback on whether they think it helped or not.
Since horehound has been recommended for the same thing for about 2,000 years now I suspected it was probably useful at least a little bit for coughs and chest congestion. My daughter says yes, and we'll have two other opinions soon. It's cheaper than cough drops to keep a pot of this plant on your windowsill...
