Cold Remedy

I don't know if you've heard about this recipe...and I don't remember where I first heard about it... but at some point in the past I'd tried it and it's not bad. I don't know that I could use it instead of cold meds but it is soothing and seems to help...

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of Coca Cola (don't use Pepsi or generic) to a gentle boil. Add fresh cut ginger or powdered ginger to taste (I used about 1-2 tsp of powder). Let boil gently on med-high heat for 5 mins or so. Let cool slightly.
