Drop in a cinnamon stick if you want to kick it up a notch

It may not actually "cure" the flu, but it WILL make you feel better.

Pretty damn close to what I use.
If running a fever and you can tolerate it let it run. Viruses are heat sensitive and you will recover faster.
For the cough I use
1/2 cup of tea (green or black your choice)
1 oz (2 tablespoons) whiskey (again your choice)
1 tablespoon honey (local raw)
juice from a fresh squeezed lemon
NO cinnamon in mine.
I saw probably 15 confirmed cases of the flu today; and under 2 years old, over 65 yo, underlying lung disease or pregnant I use Tamiflu.
A humidifier is a great asset when the humidity is low.
Otherwise sweat it out and live longer than the virus!
