Ginger root is an excellent herb for sore throats and colds. It can be purchased in your grocery. Slice a couple slices from the root, being sure to remove the outside peel. Then place in your cup, fill with hot water and allow to steep. Ginger has a strong flavor so you might add sweetener or honey.
