A simple remedy for sore throat that will work almost automatically. Contains milk, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, and honey.

[edit] Steps

Prepare your ingredients: 8 oz milk, 1/8 tsp baking soda, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
Pour the cinnamon and sugar into a cup, followed by the baking soda. Mix well.
Add the milk to the mixture and mix very well for about a minute.
Heat the milk in a microwave on high for the following times : if the milk came out of the refridgerator, 2 1/2 minutes. If it is room temperature, heat for 2 minutes.
Carefully remove the milk from the microwave using a potholder. Mix it well for a few seconds and add the honey using a spoon. Using the spoon, mix the milk. The honey will dissolve into the milk.
Serve the milk hot, draining it through a cloth if you wish.

[edit] Tips

If you do not like cinnamon, the recipe will be just as efficient without it.
If you are allergic to sugar, you can use fructose instead of sugar : 1 tsp will work well.
This recipe can be drunk on a cold day, omitting the baking soda.

Children under 9 should not prepare. Children 10-12 should prepare under adult supervision.
Do not add more baking soda than specified in the recipe.
Be careful : the milk will be very hot. If feeding this to young children, allow the milk to cool for about 4 minutes before serving.
