SORE THROAT TEA
I make this tea before bed and first thing in the morning hen I have a sore throat. It's soothing and healing. It's made with onion and garlic, but the mint leaves hide any strong flavors.

SAGE & MINT TEA (FOR SORE THROATS AND MORE...)
I have been reading about the medicinal qualities of sage, specifically for sore throats that are plaguing my family right now. I came across this recipe on ehow.com, as well as a few other sites with virtually the same ingredients and method. I really enjoyed the flavour of this tea, it didn't feel like taking your medicine at all. I saved the leftovers and enjoyed it as cold iced tea today. Not sure it has the same medicinal benefits cold, but it sure tasted great. You can also use this warm as a gargle. As with all herbal remedies, you need to do your own homework. I know that you should avoid sage if you are pregnant or nursing, (since sage is used to help dry up milk production after weaning babies). Hopefully you've got some fresh sage and mint growing so that you can try this without having to spend a lot at the grocery store.

THROAT COAT TEA
We have all had those days when we have a cold and can't kick its butt. Where our throat is achy and it hurts to swallow. This is a recipe I have developed in the last couple of days. I think I now have the perfect balance of home-remedy qualities and flavor. The honey coats your throat and helps to sooth it. The citrus actually reduces the swelling and adds a great deal of flavor. For all of you who are suffering with a sore throat, get well soon. I hope you like it.

- Licorice Root Tea. Licorice root tea contains both antiviral and antimicrobial properties, which can help fight off the illnesses that cause sore throats.
- Chamomile Tea. Chamomile is known to have both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to reduce swelling and repair tissue. It's also an antispasmodic, meaning it can help to reduce any coughing as well.
- Turmeric Tea. Turmeric has a long history in South Asian countries as an infection-fighting antiseptic. You can purchase turmeric tea bags or add ground turmeric to boiling water and strain it to create your own turmeric tea.
- Green Tea. You've probably heard green tea is good for you, but why? This light tea is packed with amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. But the true illness-fighting power comes from its high antioxidant content.
- Peppermint Tea. Because peppermint contains menthol, it asks an effective decongestant and soothing agent. It's a great choice before bedtime, as it helps aid in digestion, too.
- Marshmallow Root Tea. Don't let the name deceive you — this tea does not taste like s'mores (though we kind of wish it did). It actually comes from the marshmallow root, which secretes a substance known as mucilage.
- Lemon Tea. Lemon is packed with vitamin C, which will give your immune system a boost for fighting off cold symptoms. Add a dollop of honey for a soothing throat protectant — or make yourself a hot toddy!
- Slippery Elm Tea. Like marshmallow root, slippery elm also contains mucilage that will help coat your throat. It's even used in some oral lozenges for soothing throat pain, according to the National Institute of Health.
- Black Tea. When you're feeling under the weather, skip your morning cup of joe for a caffeinated cup of black tea. Not only will it wake you up, but it also has compounds called tannins that will help reduce inflammation and relieve sore throat pain.
- Ginger Tea. Ginger root is loaded with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which can help fight off sickness at its root. Ginger may also help with lowering body temperature and reducing fever.
