Sage Tincture for Sore Throats
There are a lot of scratchy, sore throats around at the moment that end up developing into coughs and colds. This sage tincture can nip those first symptoms in the bud. It takes a month to brew but would be well worth having in the cupboard for times of need.
Ingredients:
1 small glass jar
Sage dried or fresh
Alcohol such as vodka or brandy
Instructions:
Pack the jar with sage and fill with the alcohol to the top. Seal with an airtight lid. Shake then store in a cool dark place for at least a month. Shake daily. After a month, strain and pour into a spray bottle. Use as needed for sore throats and congestion.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
