This is a very simple recipe to make at home, it is not scientific nor did it come from any laboratory, but the high dose of love with which this grandmother gave it to me, so concerned about avoiding colds and the recovering of those affected by COVID, make it worthy, like its name, to tell and share.
It turns out that I went to visit her husband, a combatant from El Che column, to write a chronicle and she, as kind as ever, offers a coffee before starting our recordings.
I told her that I have a little allergy; and she offers me a cup with a magenta liquid and says: drink it, that does not taste bad and you are going to feel better. Well, I drank, the honey flavor prevailed, but I wanted to know about its components.
Very happy, Digna María González sits in front of me and with a bit of regret she makes her request, I would like this recipe to reach all people, because it is immune-stimulating and it has helped so many in my family for years. I think about how bad it is for patients suffering from COVID-19 and I want to share it.
How to share it
It occurs to me that the way to share it right now is by putting it on our website, since I can’t get to our radio and TV studios because I’ve been working remotely for a while, to maintain the isolation that the pandemic imposes on us, I’m all ears; I said.
The recipe
Take a handful of garlic and red onion peels, including the little roots, put them to boil in a liter of water, then boil for 5 minutes, when it cools it is added in a 500 ml bottle, four fingers of honey, shake to blend everything together, then keep in the refrigerator.
The dose is a cup of coffee with the Liquid of beautiful color and sweet taste, twice a day, but the sickest can drink up to 4 cups.
Results
Garlic is good for increasing immunity and onion is a bronchial dilator, according to Digna, that recipe was perfected over time, because one day by inspiration she prepared it for her parents who had dengue and a high fever; and in less than two hours their general malaise had disappeared and they were watching the television in high spirits.
It is also good at preventing flu and other respiratory diseases. Her husband suffers from broncho-stasis and he has been taking the magic syrup for a year, to the surprise of her doctor from the office located on Verges Street, when she auscultated Fontes; the breath sounds and fatigue have disappeared. He assures that in all this time of threats from the pandemic “he has not even had a cold.”
She also offered the formula to other patients in the neighborhood, as it is natural and easy to prepare.
Good actions
I assure you that when I left her house I had already stopped having allergies that causes the humidity; by the way I prepared Digna’s syrup for my mother who suffers from bronchial asthma and has been sleeping without coughing for a week.
The affection of this grandmother permeates her syrup and her desire to share it, two very healthy ingredients to avoid COVID. As my grandmother used to say, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, let’s try it.
