Today I bring you a spiced tea recipe which has healing power. For me, it is almost miraculous. When I notice that my throat is giving me signs that I will catch a cold soon, I start drinking this tea once a day, and it soothes and calm my irritating throat. I even make it for my kids when they usually get a cold at the start of winter. I prepare it with a small amount of tea and add a little more honey to sweeten it.

To prepare this tea, you will need ginger, cloves, and rosemary. If you find fresh rosemary better, if not, dried rosemary from a jar will also work. It comes out a little strong flavour. So, you start with a small amount of ginger and cloves until you get used to this strong flavour. You can also soften the taste by adding a little milk. Add honey to sweeten it.

Let this recipe a try when you do not feel better, and you will see how it help you to soothe your throat and make you feel cosy and warm!

Ingredients

200 ml of water
1 small piece of ginger about 2cm thick

Instructions:

-Put a pan with the water on medium heat.
