Flu-Fighting Formula (Recipe by Stéphanie Plamondon, from the December 30, 2023, issue of Vitalité Québec magazine):

• ½ tablespoon of anise hyssop hydrosol
• ½ tablespoon of true cinnamon or Chinese cinnamon hydrosol
• 1 cup of hot water

Mix all the ingredients together and add a dash of maple syrup, if desired. Drink 3 times a day to relieve cold or flu symptoms.

Due to the fragility of hydrosols, we recommend keeping them refrigerated.
