Lemon and honey GINGER TEA - for a sore throat

Since yesterday evening I´ve had a quite horrible sore throat. I am not a big fan of painkillers and drugs, I think it is good neither for health nor for beauty.
In this case of a soe throat I try to use first some old home remedies to help myself. I´ve learned it from my grandmother and from old Czech and Russian books I have already studied when I was 8 years old. The alternative medicin has also some tradition in my submontane region, so I could visit as a child often the natural healer with my grandma. Last time I am again very interested in the alternative medicin and I will start soon my study.

Before sleeping I did a neck cold compress. I can explain you in one of the next posts how I do it, because you need to do it exactly, otherwise it doesn´t help you). In the morning I´ve decided to drink during the day regulary fresh lemon ginger tea with honey. It is very easy to prepare it and it helps me everytime, in combination with the cold compress is the success 99 procent.

You can also buy it from packets, but even the best tea is just for some relax and taste, it doesn´t help you if you have a terrible cold, because it is not enought strong. It doesn´t cure you. Fresh lemon (cca half one of a smaller size) and 2 lepels honey are not good just for the taste, but they are also both home remedy from alternative medicine, they help clear sinuses and soothe scratchy throat. You need cca 15 minutes to have it ready.

Last 3 photos in my gallery are images of a good tea in packets I have tested for you. You can read on the packet in English also about other ingrediences inside the tea. There is just 15 procent of ginger root, the rest are aromas and other ingrediences. Its very good to drink it every morning, but I don´t think it is a good remedy against a sore throat. Even my doughter of 2 years 2 months can drink it, it is just tea with special taste.

This ginger lemon tea is from the brand Clipper I have bought it for ca 2.40 euro in Holland in Albert Heijn. Honey comes from the bees of our neigbour in the Czech Republic and the lemon I have from the same shop as this ginger tea and ginger root (1.50 euro).
I don´t like the lemon too much, because it has no seeds and about things without seeds I don´t have a good opinion, because every normal lemon has some seeds if it comes from normal healthy three in the nature, but in the case of lemon I unfortunately cannot see inside.

For the fresh one you will need: ginger root ( cca 5cm for 2 small or 1 big cup...In my packet was it ca for 6 big cups), boiled water, honey, sqeezed half lemon, 2 lepels honey, grater, cup, strainer, grater

How to do it:

Peel the ginger root and grate it on the grater. Boil the water. Once it is boiling, add it to the cup with grated ginger. Cover it and wait 10 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon to taste before you drink the tea* and drink it warm.

*Do not put the honey and lemon into the boiled water. Sweeteners are not recommended if you drink the tea as a home remedy.

I wish you good taste and a speedy recovery! I am after 24 hours again fit ( I want to say I don´t have a sore throat more.
