Sore Throat Tea

I saw this today on the Today Show and thought I would give it a try. I'll let you know how it works. I must say that my sore throat is pretty well gone, I do have the sniffles and thought this might help with congestion a bit too. So, we'll see...

Mix together a clove bud, which is antiseptic and fights infection, with ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger (or 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger) and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon — the latter two because of their anti-inflammatory properties.

Infuse the tea in 2 cups boiling water, and for every cup, stir in 2 teaspoons soothing and sweet raw honey. Sip throughout the day until your throat settles down.
