I've been sick with various colds and viruses for the better part of May and let me tell you I am sick of Lemon and Honey tea. So I've concocted a very pleasant alternative that is still chock full of restorative elements.
Peel a chunk of ginger (approx 1cm) and steep for a few minutes in boiling water.
Add half or one teaspoon of honey.
And the secret ingredient - a splash of apple juice.
Ginger is a common folk remedy for cold symptoms, honey is soothing for the throat (and antibacterial if you believe the reports) and apple juice is full of Vitamin C. Non-caffeinated tea is also a great way to keep hydrated, which my pharmacist assures me is essential in kicking this blasted cold.
Plus, you know, it just tastes good.

That does sound good - I even think that I could drink that one and that is saying something coming from a non tea drinker!
