I can empathize... ;-)
Have you tried any of the cranberry mixes?
I think there is still some type of blackberry mix as well.
I've not checked it out.
Bengal spice includes cinnamon, cloves and orange.
I'll often use it as a "base" for hot rum toddies when me or a loved one
has a cold or flu.
Brew Bengal spice as usual. Add to the cup 1 tsp. butter, juice from 1/4
lemon, 1 to 2 shots of rum (depending on how well you wish to be
"medicated") and sweeten to taste with splenda or sugar, your choice.
Wrap up in a comforter and curl up with a good book with this one!!!
It makes you sweat which is good for healing. ;-)
