RE: Learning the Art of Beekeeping -- Part Six
My wife drinks honey lemon tea every morning made with honey from our bees. It is incredible how effective it is on a sore throat. I drink it, but only when I feel a sore throat coming on.
Thats good. Honeys are truly amazing. Send me some honeys bigpanda:).
I make an infusion of ginger with a clove of garlic in it if I have a really bad cold. I use quite a bit of ginger so it's highly concentrated. I mix the infusion half and half with boiling water and add honey and lemon. That drink was better for my chest cold than most medications. The only thing I found is that it doesn't last long. I had to drink a cup every two or three hours to keep the cold at bay. You can leave out the garlic if the taste turns you off too much. I think it's a little less effective without it but tastes better and is better than nothing.
