Here's some Mrs Powell is using as hers flared up after a cold at xmas.
1. Evening primrose tablets.
2. Teh Halia (using James Wong's recipe)
Ingredients:
4cm (about thumb-sized) piece of ginger
3 sticks fresh tumeric (or 4g dried)
a few pinches of freshly-ground black pepper
250ml whole milk
250ml water
1 tsp black tea leaves
palm sugar, to taste (or use brown sugar or maple syrup)
Method:
Peel and grate the ginger and Turmeric then place in a mortar, add the black pepper and pound until you have a smooth paste.
Scrape the paste into a pan then whisk in the milk, water and black tea leaves. Gently bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the volume of liquid has reduced by half. Take off the heat, strain into a bowl and sweeten to taste.
Now pour the liquid between two containers, set as far apart as you can. This helps aerate the tea and imporves the flavour.
He also has a quick fix recipe using all dried spices but it's not as nice.
