Lemon & Ginger Tea with Honey<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Words by Rosenwyn Dorrell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t matter how you got it, all you know now is your throat hurts, you can’t breathe through your nose, and you’ve prodded your tonsils with swabs enough to be assured that it’s not Covid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it’s Freshers Flu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The go-to method might be paracetamol and cough syrup, but turning to more\u252c\u00e1holistic\u252c\u00e1approaches\u252c\u00e1could be better for instant relief.\u252c\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have heard of the classic hot lemon and honey or lemon and ginger tea (often served for people who are not really coffee or tea fans); but my go-to fix for this sort of bug is to combine these together and have a chilled-out afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘This drink\u252c\u00e1really feels like a hug in a mug’<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is as easy as boiling the kettle because that is all there is to it. Get yourself some lemon and ginger tea \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 you can buy tea bags from most supermarkets, or loose-leaf tea from somewhere like Bird and Blend \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 a lemon and some honey. Any honey will do, I prefer spreadable honey rather than runny honey, but whatever you have in the cupboard will work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boil the kettle, squeeze half a lemon (or the whole thing if\u252c\u00e1you’re\u252c\u00e1feeling particularly\u252c\u00e1grotty), add the tea, pour the hot water in, stir in a teaspoon of\u252c\u00e1honey\u252c\u00e1and then remove the tea bag or\u252c\u00e1strainer. Then sit down with some biscuits and your\u252c\u00e1favourite\u252c\u00e1medical\u252c\u00e1drama and\u252c\u00e1relax.\u252c\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may want to experiment with the amount of honey and lemon, or even push the boat out and try a different type of tea. This drink really feels like a hug in a mug and a miracle sure at the same time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
