Magic Potion

Should you wake up with a headache this holiday season, this is what you need to do:

Make a strong cup of coffee. In a saucepan, heat your preferred dairy or non-dairy creamer on low. This could be say ... cream, 2 % milk, soy, almond, rice,  or coconut milk. Add a pinch or two of the following: grated ginger, cardamon seeds, cinnamon, grated clove, fennel or anise seed and honey (depending on the sweetness of your creamer). Add in your coffee and let flavors mix together on low heat. Use a strainer to remove seeds. Something about the combination of caffeine and spices will clear out your sinuses and attack your headache instantly. If you don't take creamer, try putting the spices in your coffee filter or adding them to a pan with your coffee or tea after it is brewed. Thank you to my friend Ketna's mother for making this cha tea for me last New Year's Day.
