Cough Remedy by Mary Koh

Cough remedy from an acupoint specialist. Tested on my 2 yrs 9 mth old boy 3 days ago. Works like magic, cured the next day.

Ingredients:
1) 川貝Chuan bei $2.50
2) 南杏 nan xin & 北杏 bei xin (mix)- one table spoon
3) 橘餅 ju bin (i think its dried mandarin orange) - half

Method:
Double boil all the above with 2 cups of water (the transparent glass cup we drink kopi in coffeeshop) for 1 hour. Let your child take half portion, the other portion keep in fridge (throw away the ingredient else the nan xin & bai xin will make the drink bitter) assess his situation then if no improvement, warm up & drink again next day.

To give once you HEAR him cough!

DISCLAIMER: THIS MIGHT NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE, MUMMY MARY KOH IS JUST SHARING WHAT WORKS FOR HER CHILD.

How to remove peanuts skins

Tips:

1. Bhavaani Vanga says: 

You can take handful roasted peanuts and smash within palm. Most of the skin will be off the peanuts. Then just like you toss paratha on pan, toss peanuts in a wide plate and slowly blowing when it tosses. All the skin will fly down from the plate. I do in one corner of kitchen (with closed window). Once finished, just sweep the floor.

2. Inggrid Agustina says:

Fried with a bit of oil till it's ready to eat. It's easy to take out the skin.

3. Jacqueline Foo says:

Boil a bit with hot water.

4. Ellen Chan says:

Roast and put inside a big container and shake hard. The skin should drop.

5. Wendy Chia says:

Rub the peanuts between tea towels. Might work even better if towels are slightly damp.
