Another Drink "Remedy" for Cough - Mint Leaf Drink

Mint Leaf Drink is another drink that I learnt, which can help to relieve cough symptoms. This was taught by my mum. She called it Lemon Leaf Drink although from the look of the leaf, it looks more like Mint Leaf than Lemon Leaf; hence, I called it Mint Leaf Drink. Here's the simple recipe to share.

Recipe:
*Please vary the recipe accordingly if you're boiling a bigger pot of water with more mint leaves.

Ingredients:
1) ~12 Mint Leaves (size of leaves vary, so adjust accordingly)
2) Rock Sugar

Preparation:
1) Wash the mint leaves. Soak the leaves for about 5 minutes.

2) Fill the pot with water to half mark (half pot of water).
Tip: Some kids may not like the smell of the mint leaves; hence, you may wish to add more water or lesser leaves, to dilute the drink, if you're trying out this drink for the first time for your children.

3) Bring the pot of water with mint leaves to boil. After the water is boiled, turn to low fire and continue to boil for about 15 minutes (with the lid covered).

4) Add rock sugar according to your taste (or make it sweeter for your young children, especially if they don't like the smell of the leaves, or not so sweet for elderly folks). 

5) The following picture is what you get when the drink is done.
