Hello and welcome @Susurrus , for allergies I’m not sure about that, I haven’t experimented on that part to myself yet. Most in the country have been forced to find herbal remedies due to COVID19, as for me, I was already drinking this type of tea before the pandemic struck the country. Also if it’s to be drunk 30 minutes after it, one can eat already

@Liisa , It is a good one, as long as it’s drank in moderation, too much of it, one risk their immune system to attack it’s own self too

Hello @Artemisia , 1 - 2 cups in your case is usually the amount which will do the trick daily, if it’s already an average size of mug, 1 would do, also, for a usual person who doesn’t drink this, it doesn’t taste well, it’s the reason why honey’s added in it too. Hopefully this recipe helps you out too

It is @Amethyst , it’s taste is strong though. It’s why I would use Ginseng or Turmeric powder over Ginger when I am not sick

You’re welcome too @BryWisteria , this tea is usually one I’d drink in a week timeframe too or if it seems I’m about to catch a cold that will start an Asthma attack, typically works a lot whenever that’s drank, it does it’s job for tons of sick people with respiratory conditions
