Sooo, I have a head cold and I'm not mad on drugging myself up unless I literally can't function so this alternative remedy is super comforting to drink, tastes good and well I just love the warmth. I'm loving it the last 3days so I said I'd share the love. The ingredients are not set in stone you can swap the lemon and ginger bag for fresh lemon and ginger, whatever is easier. You don't even need the tea bags at all, you can leave out the green tea if you want but I just like it.
So ingredients are... Drumroll please haha
1 ginger and lemon tea bag. lemon is high in Vitamin C. It is also full of phytochemicals. These are plant constituents that help boost the immune system.
1green teabag.
3cloves, which is a powerful antiseptic. Cloves are warming, and useful for people who are prone to colds. Cloves are also an excellent natural anti-inflammatory, when used locally on swellings it can be quite useful if you have a sore throat from coughing.
Half a cinnamon stick, natural antiseptic
Squeeze of honey, honey contains a natural "ingredient", which kills the flu germs and will prevent the person from getting the flu.
Loads of info in the link below for honey and cinnamon.

So boil the kettle. Put all the ingredients into your mug and fill with water, simple. After I've finished my mug I keep the stuff unit in it and just top up the honey and water to get a second mug out of them.
That's my easy peasy tea anyway, so sit down chill out with a pack a soft tissues for your poor nose and drink this wonderful comforting tea. Woohoo.
Enjoy, happy drinking, happy sleeping.
