Try as you might to avoid the sneezes and the sniffles, catching something is pretty much inevitable. Feeling lousy is the pits, so unless your Mom still lives within chicken soup-feeding range, you’ll want to be prepared to administer your own TLC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHippocrates spoke our kind of language when he said: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” (Although, we’d like to add drinks to his sage advice.)

Not only will natural remedies ease your symptoms, but they’ll give your immune system a boost, getting you back on your feet checking off your holiday to-do list before you know it. These tasty antidotes may well prevent that case of the sniffles in the first place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUgh, you know that scratchy sore throat that always precedes the worst cold ever?

Her method is top secret, but the mystery makes them taste even better. Especially when the only ingredient is pure maple syrup, so you can feel good about using a lower calorie sweetener that is also chock-full of antioxidants and minerals. And unlike that bag of brown sugar that's solidified in your cupboard, these flakes are always sprinkle-ready. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/all\/products\/bourbon-maple-syrup#variant=363212923\"\u003eBourbon Maple Syrup\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e– As any whiskey geek will tell you, bourbon must be aged in charred barrels made from American oak, and said barrels can only be used once. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/all\/products\/bourbon-maple-syrup#variant=363212923\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMikuni\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e gets used barrels from Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery in the Hudson Valley then fill 'em up with medium amber grade maple syrup from heritage sugar shacks in Quebec.

Much of this sap is made into syrup, but some is reduced, and reduced, and reduced until it becomes maple sugar. It's sweet, of course, but also has hints of caramel and a balancing note of bitterness that makes us want to swallow it by the spoonful.

Then the scent of bourbon hits you – \u003cem\u003ejam\u003c\/em\u003e-azing. The brilliance of makers Jessica and Sabrina is their ability to take a main ingredient (in this case, blueberries) and accent it with just the precise touch of something unusual (here, bourbon) – enough that you taste it but not enough that it overpowers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/products\/banana-jam#variant=219473674\"\u003eDrunken Monkey Jam\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e– Bananas and rum?

Smoked. These organic semi-sweet chocolate chips from Hot Cakes in Seattle, Washington are cold-smoked over alder wood for more than five hours and moved every 30 minutes to ensure each chip gets the same amount of attention. Fold into pancake batter for a totally delicious, offbeat take on a diner classic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChocolate Blueberry Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e – Chocolate and blueberries?

Fresh, high-quality ingredients. Alcohol, thank goodness, has no shelf life, but tonic water is the ticking time bomb for those nights (few and far between as they are) when we're making just one or two drinks.

So he set out to make his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJack Rudy Cocktail Co. sources all their ingredients from an American company that specializes in selling the best botanicals from around the globe. When Brooks first founded Jack Rudy, he was producing the syrup in one-gallon batches in his home kitchen. From there, he moved into a catering kitchen and began to produce five-gallon batches, and then bumped up to 10 gallons. Today, they produce their tonic in 250-gallon batches in Charleston. The basic process remains the same, but the kettle is 15 feet tall rather than three feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrooks describes his syrup as \"essentially a quinine concentrate,\" but it's the hint of lemongrass and orange peel that give this just enough complexity to hold up to the rich botanicals in our favorite. Plus, if you have seltzer and this Small-Batch Tonic Syrup on hand, your tonic water will never be flat! All these elements make for literally the best V\u0026amp;T or G\u0026amp;T we've ever tasted.

They weren’t childhood friends or even college roommates. No, Einav and Jeff met because of their cats. And their apartment building, where they’d follow their wandering felines into the hallway and chitchat .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsraeli-born Einav had been busy perfecting her\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003efilfel chuma\u003c\/em\u003e, a pepper and garlic paste popular in North Africa and throughout the Middle East, and invited Jeff to have a taste.

The 20 cloves of garlic in each bottle (and that’s the toned down version!) are from Gilroy, California, garlic capital of America. Garlic gets high marks for lowering blood pressure, reducing bad cholesterol levels and boosting natural immunity. The canola oil Einav and Jeff use is a hard-to-find non-GMO, expeller-pressed version. Plus, unlike sugar- and sodium-laden sriracha and ketchup, there’s not a gram of sugar and only one-percent sodium in their good-on-everything No.7 sauce. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardest part is figuring out what \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e to douse with No.7. Eggs, hummus, avocado toast, tuna salad, tacos, soup, rice and beans are all ready and willing. We even liked the bite of watermelon from our overcrowded plate that got a little saucy…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut our favorite vehicle for getting massive amounts of No.7 in our Mouth? \u003cstrong\u003ePizza\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sauce is a little creamy, a bit tangy and a lot kicky, which makes it the perfect accessory to pizza of any style.

We always end up reaching for the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilfil, you fulfill us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","blog_id":35247813,"author":"Mouth Team","user_id":48867525,"published_at":"2017-01-12T12:00:00-05:00","updated_at":"2019-04-03T14:11:38-04:00","summary_html":"We are officially obsessed with Filfil’s Garlic Hot Sauce (No.7).","template_suffix":"","handle":"filfil-garlic-hot-sauce-with-pizza","tags":"hot sauce, pizza","image":{"created_at":"2017-01-10T11:57:05-05:00","alt":"","width":780,"height":561,"src":"\/\/mouth.com\/cdn\/shop\/articles\/mouthpiece_filfil-pizza.jpg?v=1484067425"}}
