Honey Garlic Lemon Tea for Busting Colds

Submitted by Racheal Yonkman

I dont know about you but I simply do not have time for colds, with two kids playing sports and a nursing baby. Colds need not apply. Well apparently they do not seem to respect my wishes…meanie. So here is one of my go to recipes. Its generally considered safe for all ages and works like a charm. It is simple to make, just remember not to boil the honey stir it in last to keep all the beneficial properties to it.

Garlic Tea Recipe In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of water and 3 cloves of garlic (cut in half) wait 15 minutes (something about it bringing out the medicinal properties of the garlic) then bring to a boil. Turn off the heat when the water boils, and add 1/2 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain. Sip 1/2 cup, warm, three times a day. Refrigerate extra to use the next day.
