OH! That’s wonderful! Thank you so much for coming back to let me know. I actually have some left from my current batch (I just got COVID couple weeks ago.. sigh) – I’m going to try it on my ice cream this weekend. Thank you!!

In reply to JinJoo. I tried it on a good quality plain vanilla and it was terrific! The contrast between the hot pepper and the cold sweetness was delicious.

In reply to Karen. Oh and topping for ice cream? I think that would work really well too!

Wow that’s awesome! I’m so happy to hear that!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. And adding ginger was a great idea – that’s always good for coughs and colds.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe – I was nine weeks into yet another sinus-related cough that just wouldn’t go away despite medication when I found this and decided to give it a go. I made the simmered version, added grated ginger in place of cinnamon, and omitted the red dates. And it worked – I felt the improvement begin within hours. By the end of the week, I was fine. (I actually enjoyed the taste, too, peppercorns and all. I’m tempted to try it as a topping for ice cream.) It’s a relief to know I’ve now got a remedy on hand for the next time it happens.
