Mr bpab has always had this thing for the magic of garlic... he even made juices with garlic and red onion in it! Blahhh!
Anyway I have to give all the credit to him for this 'magic' elixir.... he made it up and it works a treat!
To ward off any signs of colds / flu / things that ail ya:
Garlic and Chilli Vodka!
This bottle is almost empty and I can swear by it personally. Actually I was coming down with a yucky cold on Friday afternoon. Took a shot of this with some juice and I was feeling much better come Sat. morning.
To make this:
1 bottle of vodka
1 red chilli (yes, the chilli you see here WAS red)
4 0r so garlic cloves (skins off)
plop it all together and let it infuse in a dark place for about a week.
Then off you go! Not a yummy drink to whip out at cocktail parties........ but a life saver when you feel sick. Enjoy!!

my whole family is feeling cold and virusey at the moment and I know garlic is magic with stuff like that but I am not sure I could manage downing a swig of that. Id be drunk lol mind you i would trust your magic elixir before giving that garbage cough syrup stuff that chemists sell to my kids:)
This magic elixir sounds disgusting but I bet it's really good for you. I'm a true believer of old remedies rather than running to the chemist and popping all those pills.
oh! that's quite the elixir you've got there! I am already cringing at the taste though. Thanks for playing along.
This sounds so nasty! I can imagine all those nasty bugs running away madly when this magic elixir hits them :)
I gotta agree - it looks and sounds pretty gross but who can argue with garlic and a bit of alcohol being good for a cold? Not me!
Wow that sounds really interesting...and I may actually try it..how can you go wrong with garlic and vodka..haha
I think you win the prize for the most original elixir, who knows if the colds kick in I will give it a go.
Oh wow! Sounds totally gross - but I agree with Petit, it must be very good for you.
It would all look a lot more aesthetic if that chilli stayed red!
This is most interesting! Can hardly believe that was a chilli.
wow....I'm frightened of that one. But I might be willing to give it a try if next winter is as bad as this past one was for flus and things!
