For A Dry Sore Throat

Honey and lemon tea

Lemon is very good for treating the throat. Honey, or feng mi, must be used with care as it will change it's properties if it is heated. It is important to let the tea cool down until is only lukewarm before adding the honey. People who suffer from chronic loose bowls should add the honey when the tea is still hot.

half a lemon
red tea
honey
3 cups (850ml) water

Wash the lemon and cut it in half. Take one half, chop it roughly, and crush it before putting it into the teapot. Add red tea leaves to taste. Bring water to a fast boil then pour into teapot. Cover and let allow to sit until lukewarm. Add honey to taste and enjoy!

If you like to drink this tea hot you can subsitute rock sugar for the honey.

Prepare the lemon and put in saucepan with water. Bring to a boil and add the rock sugar. Reduce the heat and cook for 2 minutes. take the pan off the heat and add the red tea to taste. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes before dirnking.

Enjoy!
