Cough Be Gone

I've been suffering from an awful cough for the longest period of time now and have tried most off the over-the-counter drugs plus some pretty funky (read vile) home remedies. That was until today when I received from a friend another, yes another, home remedy. The difference? Or why am I sharing it with you? Coz I actually like this one...

1. First peel some rind off the orange for the purpose of allowing heat to enter the flesh and enabling the flesh to be extracted after roasting.

2. Put it inside an ordinary small oven. Roast for approx 10 mins. Once the orange has been baked, it is really fragrant, smelling quite different from the original flavor. It has a relatively moisturizing aromatic smell. You may just want to roast oranges as potpourri instead. May actually save you from having to buy Ambi-pur and such. Stick cloves in the orange and you'll have a real winner :-D Ok, I digress...

3. Grill until the orange is like that on the left side (see pic below), with its skin a little bit charred. Be careful when you take it out...hot! (u could also take the opportunity to hone in on your juggling skills!) 

4. The grilled orange can be easily peeled. Staining it with some salt would make it sweeter and better for healing the (by this time) annoying cough! 

So what do you think folks? Compared to medicine, ginger juice and such, I believe that this is a better alternative. Give it a go and let me know. If nothing else it'll be a good snack!
