\t\t\t\tWith flu season in full swing, here’s a\u00a0yummy sorbet you should try with ingredients like:<\/p>\n
Cayenne?<\/p>\n
Sure\u2014this fiery spice spurs the sinuses and warms the body. It gives\u00a0the nasties a kick without overwhelming the taste buds.<\/p>\n
Bourbon?<\/p>\n
It’s a classic remedy for colds.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it\u2014a new twist on the old remedy of whiskey, honey, and lemon juice.<\/p>\n
When I want to get really serious about\u00a0flu remedies, I rely on my trusted friends at Mountain Rose Herbs for natural\u00a0cold and flu prevention recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u00a0call my remedy:<\/p>\n Flu-Away Sorbet<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 cups fresh orange juice (I added some of the rind, finely chopped) Bring citrus juices, honey,\u00a0and ginger to a quick boil. Remove from heat the minute the mixture begins to boil and add the cayenne until it dissolves. Then add the\u00a0bourbon (or rum flavor) and pectin. Cool mixture, cover, and refrigerate until cold. Process mixture in an ice cream maker until it is the consistency of soft whipped cream. Pour into a storage container, press parchment paper against the surface of the sorbet to prevent ice crystals, and seal with an airtight lid. Freeze until firm, then dig in whether you’re sick or not!<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With flu season in full swing, here’s a\u00a0yummy sorbet you should try with ingredients like: Cayenne?
