Soothing a sore throat
Dang it! Home sick with a sore throat.
I’m already a big tea drinker, but when I get a cold or sore throat I practically drown myself in cups of hot tea.
Admittedly, I’m a bit of a snob. I buy the expensive, organic, loose blends at my local Co-op, but I think there are healing powers in even the most crushed up commercial tea bags.
The added ingredient for my home remedy is honey. I bought this jar from Harvard Honey Bees in at a Farmer’s Market in Moscow, Idaho. I don’t normally add sweeteners to my tea, but, in this case, I think it helps deliver a one-two punch…especially if you lick the spoon!

Hope you are feeling better. My Moscow jar of honey is about half gone….I use it daily with my morning oatmeal, cinnamon and fat free milk…..just a little sweet to add to my healthy starter meal.

Still working on that sore throat, but feeling a bit better. Thanks!

You should be able to get some slipper elm bark (powdered) from any place that sells similar dried herbs and mix it with some honey (I’ll have to ask Greg on the ratio). Amazing throat soother.
