[Guest karl adams]

[j.childs]

if i remember rightly it's got garlic, onions and iodine in, if it's the same one the birds came up a treat, it was just too much hassle to make though..Andre van der weil does something simalar but without the iodine in....

[REDCHEQHEN]

Just a thought - do you not think boiling would destroy a lot of the goodness - particularly out of the garlic

Chriss never put anything hot into a fridge straight away it is the worst thing you can do to get E.Coli infections etc and that inc Food in the Home also

Wait till it has cooled then put it in if you want !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OLDYELLOW]

i would personaly make the tea up and just juice the onion and garlic with the lemon and add once cooled down as you say it will kill the propertys of the garlic and onion and the lemon juice will act as a preservative , also i wouldnt make that quantity as will only keep for 3 days

[Guest karl adams]

what a smell made the tonic up today and when my other half come back from work she went mad about the smell she has told me to stay out the kitchen and from now on she will do all the cooking

so if the tonic has no effect on the birds at least i don't have to cook anymore  ;D ;D ;D ;D

that's what Dave Allen said, if you make this right, it stinks from the high heavens, and you'll be bared from the kitchen just  one of the Manny tricks from D.A  just the tonic eh

i think your thoughts are right ;D ;D ;D as boiling garlic in water  will destroy the allicen in it , taking the goodness out of it.

[Guest karl adams]

i blended the garlic bulbs and added to the mix when it was cold
