Throat Coat Tea

[Guest guest]

Hello Friends,

I might have posted this before, but thought, with all the cold and

flu posts going around this might be helpful. It's my

own " concoction " and my boyfriend SWEARS by it. He couldn't swallow

without it for a few weeks. He drank probably 3-4 cups a day.

Throat Coat Tea

1 part each: Licorice root, slippery elm, marshmallow root

0.5 part: echinacea angustifolia (I used less because I had less, and

it didn't grind up as well as the others)

1/2 lemon

tsp honey

Mix this well and steep in distilled water and add a squeeze of lemon

and the honey (to taste) before serving. I ground the roots and

harder parts in a coffee grinder before mixing it up. I make bunches

at a time now, and store in a jar in the cupboard. It's nice to have

on hand.

I've even made several cups at a time and sent it with him to work in

a waterbottle. He reheated it in a mug. IT should stay for 2-3 days

in the fridge.

Best!
