Fall and winter are often the time of colds. We are then exposed to numerous unpleasant factors: bluff, cold, cold wind, shorter day - all this can have a negative impact on us, both in terms of well-being and vitality.
We often come back chilled from a walk with the dog, or we just feel that "something is taking us". Then it is worth reacting quickly and treat yourself to a little warming vitamin bomb. Although various pharmacy specialties are popular, few know that ... beer can be equally effective (and certainly much more pleasant to consume)! How can we use golden liquor to help us fight the disease? We'll tell you soon!
Heat the atmosphere and beer
Of course, if we are talking about beer for colds, it is only mulled beer. Mulled beer is a fairly traditional way to alleviate the unpleasant symptoms of a cold. It will help with a runny nose, cough, minor muscle or joint pain.
How is this possible? Well, this ancient golden drink is a source of many beneficial minerals for us. These include B vitamins, niacin, magnesium, zinc and silica. In addition, alcohol combined with temperature helps to widen blood vessels, which improves circulation, which can be extremely important in fighting infection. Can beer also help fight the flu? It can certainly relieve pain and make it easier to fall asleep. You will also feel the relaxing and relaxing effect.
Of course, the amount of beer should not be overdone, and alcohol should not be mixed with some drugs (if you are taking them). And most of all - it is a medicine only for adults!
What beer is the best
Unpasteurized beer is the best for healing mulled wine - it contains the most valuable minerals and is quite neutral in taste. Citrus or spicy beers will also do well - they contain aromas known for their warming properties. Nevertheless, even "pure" beer can be enriched with additional ingredients during the mulling process.
What can we add? Certainly, cinnamon, cloves and ginger will be a good composition, both in terms of taste and healing. They have been known for centuries for their warming, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, as well as stimulating the immune system. A good addition to the medicinal beer mulled wine will also be honey and ... egg yolk! Sounds weird? We advise you to find out because it contains a huge dose of nutrients and minerals!
The best recipe for healing mulled wine
There are many methods of preparing mulled beer, but let's focus on the version that is a real "health bomb" that helps in the fight against colds. Here are the ingredients we need to make this traditional remedy:
- 1 glass of beer,
- 3-4 cloves
- ½ tablespoon of chopped or squeezed ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- A spoonful of honey
- 1 yolk
- A couple of spoons of sugar
Gently heat the beer in a pot, then add spices to it. It is important not to let it boil. Meanwhile, in the second dish, beat the yolk and sugar. Once we have beaten egg yolk, pour it into warm beer. Now all you have to do is add honey. Note - honey loses its valuable properties at temperatures higher than 50 degrees. Keep this in mind when adding it to mulled wine.
Ready! Now it remains to drink the mulled beer medicine immediately after preparation. And then just jump under the covers and relax!
