In case we're not the only ones with pollen allergies, I thought I'd share one of my favorite soothing "teas." Now, I'm not promising a cure with this, but it sure does taste nice.
What you'll need:1/2 a lemon
1 tablespoon honey (local honey is supposed to help with allergies--so support your local beekeepers)
a mug of water
What to do:
Heat your water. It doesn't have to be boiling-just on the hot side of warm will do. Personally I like to heat my water in a tea kettle. I'm just finicky like that, but a microwave does just fine. squeeze 1/2 a lemon into a mug. Add your honey. Pour in your hot water, stir, and enjoy. It's kind of like hot lemonade.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI too get horrible allergies, this sounds like such a soohting drink sort like a yummy warm cough drop. I htink I will try it next time the allergies hit.
ReplyDeletetake it easy you two.
Hope the tea helps comfort you a bit and that you feel better soon.

ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting about the local honey. We all have allergies too.

ReplyDeleteoooh get well! I'm a kettle gal too!
ReplyDeleteyuck ... hope you are feeling better already!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you two aren't feeling well. I am not really a tea drinker (I have a strange complex about hot clear beverages... I can't say it makes sense!) but that sounds pretty soothing. And I love your tea kettle. :)
ReplyDeleteWe make that drink too, and sometimes will add fresh ginger.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to feeling better soon!
Oh no. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI saw your tweet about this. I hope you both feel better!
ReplyDeleteThe tea does sound good! Hope you all feel a TON better soon!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! Wish I could bring you a pot of steaming Chicken Soup! Do you have colds or is it "just" allergies?
ReplyDeleteGet Well Soon!
