This healing tea was a life saver – or should I say throat saver – when I had laryngitis and a super sore throat. It’s easy to make and has a lot of ingredients that are going to not only soothe your throat, but also heal your body. What’s even better is you probably already have them on hand – you just need to put them all together. There are a lot of different teas out there, but this is the best healing tea for sore throat I’ve used.
Ingredients
- Your favorite mug
- Hot Water
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Lemon Juice
- Honey
- 1 Green Tea Bag
Directions
- Grab your mug
- Add 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
- Add 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice
- Add 2 tablespoons of Honey
- Add your hot water
- Mix everything together until the honey’s consistency has liquified and blended with everything else.
- Drop in your bag of green tea and let it steep for about 45 seconds – 1 minute tops. You don’t want your tea to be too strong and overpower everything else. It needs to have a light and subtle taste.
- If the tea is too hot, you can add a splash of rice or almond milk (don’t use dairy because it will increase congestion by producing more mucous) and adjust the amount of lemon and honey to suit your taste.

*these ingredients have more benefits than just what I listed, but the benefits I did list are the ones that are going to help heal your body when you have the flu or a cold.
