Penelope's Medicinal Potion aka Mud Tea



After spending the day at work feeling like a hedgehog's died inside my throat, I've resorted to desperate measures inspired by my friend the witch who dosed me so well last week I sweated garlic all the next day. So,

1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
an abundance of ginger, sliced
pinch or two black tea leaves
fennel seeds, to taste

Simmer in a saucepan of water until it reaches desired muddiness. It all slips down pretty easy given the somewhat ghastly stench, though a nip of brandy sure wouldn't go astray.

Love Penelop.
