Herbal Tea for Cough



7 bougainvillea flowers
a small bunch of dried mullein flowers
a 1 1/2 square inch of fresh aloe vera
a few leaves of eucalyptus
1 quart of water

Bring water to a boil and add all the herbs.
Simmer for a few minutes, and turn off the heat.
Allow to steep for 10-15 minutes. Strain out the
 herbs. Sweeten with honey and let your children
drink it as often as they will! I made this without
 the eucalyptus and added peppermint instead.

This recipe along with the herbs came from
 Hermana Antonia from Milpillas. She gathered
 them all from the mountains behind her little 
casita.
