Cold remedy tea
This traditional warming remedy features the gentle kick of fresh ginger balanced by zesty lemon, aromatic spices, and soothing natural honey. It is best enjoyed hot at the first signs of a seasonal cold or on chilly evenings. Add the honey only after the tea has slightly cooled to preserve all its natural health benefits.
