Chamomile Tea with Lemon and Honey The only thing I hate more than being sick is being sick on a holiday. A sore throat and sinus pain all started early on Thanksgiving eve. Instead of resting up and relaxing, I decided to spend the day to get my Thanksgiving dinner ready and rest the next day; I think that’s what sent my simple sinus infection into hyper-drive, evolving into bronchitis. My throat was so sore my voice started to go out, and let’s not mention how hard it is to eat (that’s what Thanksgiving is all about right??). The only thing that soothed my throat enough to bring my voice back (slowly) and stop the pain (quickly) was this piping hot lemon and honey tea. Lemon is acidic with antibacterial properties that help get rid of germs; plus they contain vitamin C which is known for building the immune system. Honey is also antibacterial, and it coats the throat to help to reduce inflammation and not to mention, it helps the tea taste better. Chamomile is essential because it has many antioxidants which is a good cough suppressant, tissue health, and repair; also chamomile tea could help relieve other cold symptoms as well. Enough talking about it, let’s make a cup. Recipe Chamomile Tea with Lemon and Honey Materials you will need:
