Ginger Infusion
If this is what I had a couple of weeks ago it's a fucker, hope you get well soon...Get someone to go to the supermarket and get you a big lump of fresh ginger. Break off one of the 'lobes' and slice as finely as you can be bothered to. Stop for a minute to blow your nose and have a bit of a cough before boiling the kettle. Dump the ginger into the biggest mug you've got (or a cafitiere coffee plunger 'tingum if there's one lying about) and pour over boiling water. Leave to steep for a good five minutes and add honey if you want to. Made me feel a bit better last week when I had it.
