The perfect tea for a cold

Who hasn’t experienced a sore throat when a cold sets in? It almost feels like a tradition on chilly days, doesn’t it? But there’s something that can turn your day around—and no, it’s not just any tea. It’s a tea with powerful ingredients that will help you feel better.

Today, I’m sharing the perfect tea for a cold: lemon, honey, and ginger. These three ingredients are not only delicious on their own but, when combined, create an incredibly potent blend to soothe your throat and ease your cough.

Why Lemon, Honey, and Ginger?

Lemon:
Lemon is packed with vitamin C, a well-known ally for strengthening the immune system. Its acidity also helps break down mucus and soothe an irritated throat.

Honey:
With its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, honey is a natural remedy for relieving coughs. Plus, it naturally sweetens your drink, eliminating the need for processed sugar.

Ginger:
The spiciest ingredient in the mix, ginger is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties. This root is perfect for reducing cold and flu symptoms, improving circulation, and easing overall discomfort.

How to prepare it
Here’s a quick and easy recipe so you can enjoy this magical tea anytime.

Lemon, Honey and Ginger Tea Recipe for Soothing the Throat

Ingredients:
• 1 cup of hot water
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 slice of fresh ginger

Instructions:

1. Heat the water in a kettle until it is almost boiling. Avoid bringing it to a full boil, as excessively hot water can destroy some of the beneficial properties of honey and lemon.
2. While the water is heating, slice a piece of fresh ginger.
3. Place the ginger in a cup and pour the hot water over it.
4. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the cup.
5. Add a teaspoon of honey and stir well. The honey will dissolve in the hot water, adding a natural sweetness.
6. Let it steep for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Enjoy!
