I love honey- I drink it in (almost) all my teas! :honey_pot: It’s anti-inflammatory and I’ve found that if you use local honey, it helps to prevent and treat the seasonal colds that come around.

Cinnamon is anti-viral and can help to give viruses the boot. It’s also warming and invigorating, which can help the body fight :muscle:

Basil isn’t one I drink very often- unless it’s in a pre-made tea blend, I don’t add it. But it’s anti-bacterial and magically very lucky, so I don’t see why it couldn’t be added to a health blend! :herb:

I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better now, @tink! Keep on resting and staying hydrated- I hope you’ll be back to full health asap :blush:

Thank you for sharing your recipe! :heart:

Blessed be :sparkles:

I’ve never thought to put basil in tea before, but if it made you feel better than it was a good choice. When I have a scratchy throat, I tend to make a turmeric and ginger tea with some fresh lemon juice and local honey. We always have those ingredients, so sometimes I’ll make a cup of black or green tea and add them. Other times I’ll just steep fresh slices of ginger in hot water. I never measure how much of anything though :face_with_peeking_eye:
