Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Salz:Hi Salz, glad you liked it. Your profile says you have a TM31. Did you have to make any changes to suit that model?
This is an amazing recipe! Feels so good on a sore throat! Thanks
Thanks Paige. This is a great recipe. I've cancelled my flu injection.
I could feel any cold I might have got ease off by the second sip. It's a well written recipe with easy to obtain ingredients.
