A warm cup of herbal tea can offer immediate, soothing relief for a sore throat. What's more, non-herbal teasâwhether they're made with black, green, or white leavesâcontain antioxidants that are thought to strengthen immunity and ward off infection. For an extra boost, add a teaspoon of honey.
Pour the hot tea into the mug and stir. If youâre not a tea drinker you can substitute coffee or simply add only the hot water. Some people think a Hot Toddy will help relieve sore throats or cold and flu symptoms. Personally I donât need to be sick to enjoy this lovely libation â just thirsty.
