The bane of every parents existence: the common cold! Our house has been a breeding ground for it this season. For a while, I called our place “germ central”. It’s a terrible, on-going cycle. My kid gets a cold, then I get it, then my husband and so it goes.

Well, I haven’t found the cure, but this drink seems to be on tap at our house this time of year. My husband and I have been drinking this potion for years and consider it to be a miracle for soothing a sore throat and clearing the head.

Ginger Lemon Honey Tea Ingredient Benefits

• Ginger: This root has been traditionally used as a natural remedy for colds, flu and other respiratory tract infections due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help boost the immune system, reduce congestion and sore throat, and alleviate other symptoms associated with the common cold.
• Honey: Honey is not only delicious and naturally sweet, but is used as a natural remedy for sore throat and coughs due to its antibacterial properties and its ability to coat the throat and soothe irritation.
• Lemon: Lemons are a vitamin C powerhouse which is great for boosting your immune system. Additionally, the acidity in lemons may help to break up mucus, which can relieve congestion.

This homeopathic remedy is a lifesaver! I make this tea for my kids even when they aren’t sick because it’s so good for them and absolutely delicious.

How to Make Ginger Lemon Honey Tea

• Cut the ginger into thin disks.
• Bring the water and ginger to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, you could divide ginger coins between 2 mugs and pour the hot water into the mugs. Wait a minute or two until ginger softens and bruise with a spoon to release the flavor.
• You can either remove ginger chunks from the mugs or leave it in. I leave it in, but it’s a personal preference.
• Add the lemon juice and honey between the mugs and stir to dissolve honey. Enjoy!
