Thanks Karen, will try that remedy. Woody, ginger and watermelon sounds really interesting. Nice mix of sugar and spice!

Hey Wilson, I like the idea of your lemongrass and ginger iced tea. MM, have you tried putting some ginger in watermelon shake? Just a hint of it and it gives the shake a tang. Really good. Learned it from my daughter.

Yes MM, you can use the small-leaf oregano as long as they’re not the ones you use for asado, hehehe! Some don’t even boil it, just chop and eat.

Yum! Dayap juice! It’s the best thing to look forward to whenever the tree in our backyard bears fruit. It’s so much nicer than calamansi juice.

marketman, this sounds great! i have to agree that there is a severe underrepresentation of fruit juices in restaurants today. it’s such a shame that for a country with an abundance of reasonably-priced fresh fruits, philippine restaurants tend to serve only canned and prepackaged juice.

For the ginger tea, you may use moscovado sugar instead of white sugar or honey. Add some kalamansi juice and honey for the oregano. Its a proven effective for cough and colds. Get well soon, Marketman!

Wilson, the lemongrass ginger tea might taste REALLY good with the young ginger I wrote about a few days ago, it has a smoother sweeter taste but still strong ginger flavor… Joey, sorry, got the pitcher on a trip to the U.S. It was from Crate & Barrel, quite reasonable (made in Poland) and if you have relations there they can probably get you one. Karen, thanks for the boiled oregano suggestion. Can I use the small oregano or does this have to be the large leaf oregano?

Thirst-quenching – and with a superb taste, definitely! You can use the lime zest for leche flan too, and the rind for ginisang bagoong.

Get well soon, Marketman! Boiled fresh oregano leaf (mint) brew is a traditional and very effective remedy. You’ll be rid of your cough and colds the day after.
