Lemon honey tea is one of my very favorite remedies. It helps soothe a cough, and works miracles on sore throats. It is packed with antibacterial, and anti-fungal ingredients. I discovered this when both of my girls came down with sore throats. Of course it was a Friday evening, leaving me no help from a quick doctors visit for the weekend. So I started keeping my girls cups full of this tea. By weekends end there was no sign of a sore throat. I was thrilled! Since then I’ve used it to ease many coughs and sore throats. It even helped me dull the pains of strep throat.

Sometimes it can be difficult to get kids to take remedies, especially if they are picky. I’ve never had a problem with getting my kids to take this one. As a bonus you can add gelatin to turn it into a gummy candy by placing 2 Tbs. gelatin in 1/2 cup of cold water. Let sit while you prepare the tea. When the tea is ready add it to the gelatin mixture. Once it is incorporated place in molds or in a small pan. Refrigerate. Once cooled, remove from mold or cut into small pieces.

When making the lemon honey tea recipe you can also adapt it to your liking. Ginger and coconut oil can be wonderful additions but aren’t necessary. Both are beneficial for overcoming illness. Likewise, if you like more of a lemon flavor you can squeeze in the entire lemon or even use some lemon zest.

Ingredients

Juice for 1/2 lemon
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1-2 tsp. honey
pinch of cayenne
one knuckle of grated ginger (optional)
1 tsp. coconut oil (optional)
Boiling water to fill cup

Instructions

Heat water in pot or tea pot.
Add lemon juice, ginger, honey, and coconut oil to tea cup.
Let steep for a few minutes.
Strain if desired.
Add ground cinnamon, and cayenne.
Sip slowly to soothe a sore throat or cough.

Notes

If you don't mind more cinnamon and cayenne then add more.
For kids it is best to keep cayenne at a minimum for obvious reasons. But put in as much as possible without destroying the flavor. As I drink mine, I continue to stir it. Cayenne has a tendency to settle to the bottom which can make that last swallow a bit of a surprise if you don't keep stirring as you drink.
