Honey Lemon and Ginger Tea

Jump to Recipe

For the second day of the blogging marathon, I have shared here a simple concoction of honey lemon and ginger tea that works wonders when taken at the first sign of cold.

My 8 yr old has been having this tea whenever he comes down with a cold and it is really effective. He loves this so much that even for a little sniffle; he would come to me and ask for this.

Honey Lemon and Ginger Tea and cute little bear

It is called tea, but it does not have any tea in it. It is a very simple concoction of honey, ginger, and lemon. It takes less than 10 mins to make this and it really soothes the throat. When taken for 2-3 days, it really minimizes the symptoms and helps you feel better.

Honey Lemon and Ginger Tea

The lemon in the tea is very high in Vitamin C. It also has the capacity to help boost the immune system. Honey possesses anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties.

Honey helps a lot to relieve the cough. Ginger contains a certain chemical that specifically targets the rhinovirus which is one of the most common cold-causing viruses. Ginger also is a natural pain and fever reliever which can help one to rest during illness.

This works way better than any cough medicine and is much safer. It is advised that honey should not be given to kids under 2 yrs. So if the kid is older, this works wonders.
