The chamomile flowers potion is also great for relief respiratory illness. Just try this inhalation.

I make it for my son that earlier has relative often sick throat. Now it's okay but maybe this recipe will be useful for somebody.

Take 400 ml water and boil it, add 1 tablespoon of chamomile flowers, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon baked soda. A patient have to breath (carefully!) over boiled water, wrap in towel about 10-15 minutes (kids no more 5 minutes). Do it 1-2 times/day.

My son definitely love it too, this is really nice open a own glass with strawberries for example and eat it with hot tea!

For everyone who know this feeling and love home jams, I want to share one small tip. When you make your jam, just after it become boil, add to your jam lemon juice. Yes, you heard right, the lemon juice. For say 5 pounds of jam I take one fresh lemon and just press juice out.

Why? Easy! Your jam will be colorful! Because jam color become dark just after jam boil, adding the lemon juice prevent jam be dark. Try it!
