We use a local Mexican remedy that gives you the energy needed to defeat a cold. It's a tea made from the flowers of the Teresita plant. Some call it Penicilina Mexicana.

Use only the pink flowers. Gently boil 8 - 10 flowers in 2 cups of water, until the water turns green and all colour is out of flowers. Drink a full cup of the tea, warm to hot.

We have had the tea many times over the years, and found that it helps give energy and shorten the cold's duration.

Teresita plants grow wild all over La Manzanilla.
