Comforting Cold And Flu Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 cups water
8 slices fresh ginger
12 sage leaves, fresh or dried
3 rosemary sprigs, fresh
3 fresh thyme sprigs, fresh (optional)
1 lemon, juice of
2 cinnamon sticks
3 tablespoons honey

Preparation

Place all ingredients (except honey) in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat and steep for about 10 minutes.
Strain into a pitcher (I like to leave the cinnamon sticks in the pitcher for extra flavor). Stir in honey while still warm.
Store pitcher in refrigerator. Reheat one cup at a time in the microwave, adding more honey to taste, if desired. Drink twice a day, breathing steam through nose, for maximum benefit.
