This is one of my favorite spicy tea blends, delicious warm or cold. Combine ingredients in a large pot to consume throughout the day. Bring water up to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cover for 15 minutes. Strain. Drink a cupful every 1-2 hours. Sweeten if desired.
Use for children and adults alike at the onset of a cold or flu to minimize aches and pains and to encourage body sweating. Can assist with those under-the-weather symptoms such as head congestion, sore throat, coughing, headaches, fever, restlessness, watery eyes, stomachaches, and general aches and pains.
