Honey Lime Tea

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi September 17, 2013
 

Few weeks ago I was down with flu and cough.I couldn’t bear it.When I went to the doctor,her advice was try to recover naturally without medicine as I am pregnant.Thats good not to take pills unwantedly.(anyway she advised me to visit her if I am not recovering) First I tried Ginger and Corriander Tea which we commonly use in Sri Lanka as a herbal remedy for common cold.
But I was tired with continuous coughing.

I heard about this honey lime tea from a friend and tried it as there is no harm of trying honey and lime together.This is a simple tea recipe which is used as a remedy for sore throat or cough.Really it was helpful to sooth my throat while I had bad coughing. 

I guess it can be served as a cold summer drink by cooling and adding some ice over it.But as a remedy for cough,use it as a hot drink.Sip warm honey lime tea slowly. It will sooth the throat.

Thanks for the info! I always drink honey and lemon tea(either hot or cold). Other than that, I’ll drink water. But I’ll definitely have to switch up and try the lime. Congrats on your pregnancy, btw!! Thanks so much for sharing this on the link up!! Have a good one!!
