Mike's Throat Tea

Printer-Friendly version


Great relief for a sore throat (and other cold and flu-related symptoms).

1 1/2 tsp Earl Grey tea (or other tea of your choice)
1/4 tsp sassafras root bark
1/3 tsp horehound leaves
1/4 tsp sarsaparilla root
1/2 tsp spearmint leaves

Boil one cup of water. Remove from heat and pour into a mug. Place tea ingredients in a tea infuser, steep 6 minutes. Remove infuser and sweeten tea with 1 tbsp (or more) honey. This tea is somewhat bitter, but enough honey will take care of that; more importantly, the tea works!
