Annie's Soothing Herbal Throat Tea
A lovely herbal tea using demulcent herbs to coat and sooth inflamed throats. We also just drink it because we like it! You can also make a lovely tea using equal parts licorice root and peppermint leaf.*Not intended to cure or heal. Check with your medical provider before using any herbs. Pregnant women and children especially should consult doctor before using herbs.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Dried peppermint leaves
- 1/4 cup Dried mullein leaves
- 1/4 cup Dried marshmallow root
- 1/4 cup Dried licorice root
Instructions
- Combine herbs in desired storage container.
- Brew as you would for tea using 1 tsp. per 8 oz hot water.
- *The addition of mullein and marshmallow do tamp down the yummy licorice/peppermint component a bit, so I usually use 2 tsps. of tea per 8 oz. water for a stronger licorice/peppermint flavor.
Notes
- This recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc.
- This tea can be made with just the licorice and peppermint for the good flavor. I added the extra herbs for their demulcent actions to enhance the efficacy of the tea.
