Took a walk down to the farmer’s market today, maybe getting loaded up on fruits and vegetables will be good for my immune system??
Anyway I decided I was going to pick this up on the way home and drink some today. Here’s the ingredients list:
Licorice Root
Fennel Seed
Wild Cherry Bark
Cinnamon Bark
Orange Peel
Slippery Elm Bark
Cardamom Seed
Ginger Root
Mullein Leaf
Clove Bud
Black Pepper
This is like a cornucopia of spices, but not exactly pleasant tasting. It seems like a spicy licorice soup if you ask me. Aside from the licorice there’s also black pepper and ginger that seem really strong. It’s a bit like a chai but not nearly as palatable. I would not recommend this solely on the basis of the flavor, but it is a medicinal tea after all. Hopefully it will do the trick and help dispel my germs. I used two teabags for a large mug of tea.

My goodness, if that list of ingredients doesn’t make you feel better, I don’t know what will!
Feel better :-)
If it wasn’t for that nasty licorice :) Unfortunately, I think that’s the key throat-soothing ingredient.
I don’t hate licorice as much as other people seem to. It does always overwhelm everything else in a tea though.
I hate everything licorice-like, so that includes fennel and anise as well. Some types of cinnamon too.
But yeah, it’s a key factor in the sore throat stuff.
