There are some excellent teas for a sore throat out there, but you need to know the right ones.
Honey and lemon tea, as well as ginger tea, have long been considered amongst the best home remedies for sore throats, and cold congestion, too. Other teas good for sore throats are eucalyptus, echinacea, turmeric and chilli.
Believe it or not, chilli is a popular herb for fighting colds and flu and its warming attributes are what calm any swelling or soreness of the throat.
At Bird & Blend we have plenty of teas that will help sore throats: our Cold Weather Warrior and a ginger-packed Gingerbread Chai. Or how about a ginger beer tea? Any of these, with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of whisky or dollop of raw honey, will soother your sore throat in no time!
We also have a fantastic sore throat tea recipe featuring all the cold busting super ingredients. This easy sore throat tea recipe is enjoyed during the winter months by our local Brighton Gospel Choir to keep their vocal cords in tip top shape!
