When we were suffering with a cold as a child our mother would boil Coke-cola with ginger and starniese a trick she had learned when she lived at 北大University, from a classmate. the ginger and staraniese act as healing remedy; thought to heat up the body and help healing. the Coke was used like honey as electrolytes but also has some licorice in it so it is known for helping with nausea, and finally boiling it because in chinese culture people really drink cold water or things. it is believed that drinking hot drinks even in the summer keeps one healthy.

Recipe:

coke, ginger, staraniese boiled for 10 minuets.

I think like many people coke is a miracle cure; it is no different to my mother, when we were ill we were given coke; stomach ache coke, sick coke. many people have miracle cures and coke happened to be ours.
