Keep the flu away with this brew
The Durban Catholic Players’ Guild share their recipe to keep the flu away this autumn.
IT is now officially autumn, and the change in season also often means an increase in colds and flu.
More than 100 Durbanites are doing their very best to keep the flu bugs at bay and are rehearsing for the Passion Play beginning this week.
What has become a Passion Play tradition is the serving of a potent ‘Flu Brew’ to keep everyone healthy.

They’ve shared their brew recipe below:
- 3 litres boiling water

- 3 roots of ginger, peeled and sliced
- 3 sticks cinnamon
- 6 cloves
- 100ml honey
