Heritage Day Recipe

I spent Heritage day 2010 with my mum in the kitchen, making the Indian version of Med-Lemon, also known as king soup. While the secret to the great family recipe was cremated with my late grandmother {who could turn anything into a feast}, this recipe is a close second. And yes, it works to sooth a sore throat and makes you sweat away a cold, before you know it, you’re flu free and as good as new..
