Great For A Sore Throat

My daughter wasn’t feeling well over the weekend. I’m sure it was no big deal, but she acted like she was dying!

I thought this would be perfect for her sore throat and runny nose. And it was.

I have a lovely tea pot with an insert, so that is what I used. The tea steeps very strong, so if you don’t like a strong tea, maybe steep it for three minutes instead of five.

The combination of the orange and lime juices gives the tea a very citrus feel, making it great for sore throats.

The honey provides just enough sweetness to counteract the tart juices. But don’t worry, it isn’t overly sweet.

Overall a nice tea.
