Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the hollowed-out orange. Salt helps to reduce mucus and ease throat irritation.
- Place the other orange half (with its pulp intact) on top of the hollowed-out half, aligning them to form a complete orange.
- This creates a “sealed” orange, allowing the heat to combine the ingredients more effectively.
- Let the orange cook for several minutes over the smallest flame. This process helps release the essential oils and beneficial compounds from the orange and turmeric.
- As the orange heats, the ingredients inside will mix naturally. Occasionally adjust the position of the orange to ensure even heating.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the orange from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly before handling.
- Open the orange, and add 1 tablespoon of honey to the mixture. Honey is an excellent natural remedy for soothing the throat and easing coughs. Stir the mixture well.
