Reminder to self - be careful what you draw your attention to!

(YIKES! By the very virtue of this post I am doing it again - HUGHHH!!)
Anyway - about a month ago, I remember telling someone (and now in hindsight it may have been a bit cockily) “Oh, I never get sick, MAYBE one short cold a year, but it never lasts for very long….” HMMM…got to love how the universe works. So as I am sure you can surmise, I have been stuck with the pesky cold that is going around, on and off ever since.

The good news is my friend Seon Hee told me about this Citron Tea last time I was visiting her (and she happened to be sick), and told me she drinks it all day long when she gets a cold, and it fixes her up right quickly. (Although she didn’t really say it like that….)

So I finally had enough energy to go out and get some today, and as of the 3rd cup, I am starting to feel a bit better. Mind over matter? The placebo effect? Just the power of citrus and sugar? Hey, whatever the reason, I am up for whatever works, so I thought I should share it with you.

If you are in the South Bay, go to Market World, a fabulous Korean grocery on the southwest corner of Sepulveda and Maple in the fine city of Torrance. Or try to find it in a Korean grocery near you.

(Ps. Print quality represents my present state, my apologies. If you can’t see the label as clearly as I thought you would be able to, it says Citron Preserve on the box and Citron Tea on the Jar and it is manufactured in Korea from a company named Doowon Nonghyup)

Update: Okay, so it is a few hours after I started drinking this delicious “tea” - initially after the 3 cup I was feeling pretty good - throat/cold wise anyway, however, now I am feeling a bit nauseated, headachey, and woozey, like one usually feels after eating too much sugar, especially since I forgot to eat lunch. So just a word of caution - still love the product, but yet another lesson - Moderation is key with most things in life - and not too much sugar on an empty stomach!
