More advice from the cold front. I was lucky to have found one of those electric citrus juicers crammed in the back of my cupboard. I always thought these machines were a poor substitute for a real juicing machine. I was wrong. These things are great because they work really well, are easy to clean and take up less space! Of course they only work on citrus but that's really all I need to juice anyway.
Fresh squeezed juice has a higher Vitamin C count than the store bought stuff so it really is best when you are dealing with sickies to go for it. I mixed up orange, lemon and grapefruit juices for a yummy alternative to plain old oj. The perfect combo is 1 orange, 1 ruby red grapefruit and half of a lemon.
If you don't have a citrus juicer or just don't feel like going to the trouble you could make a quasi-hot toddy. Just heat water to boiling, squeeze half of a lemon, and add two tablespoons of honey in a large mug. If you'd like to you can add a cinnamon stick or two whole cloves. Please resist the urge to add alcohol or caffeinated tea, they are dehydrating which is bad for colds. Cheers!
