What kind of tea should I drink for a sore throat?

Question

I have an audition on Thursday and my throat isreally sore. Is there a special kind a of tea that can help with this?

Answer 1

I don't think it matters what kind of tea (avoid anything spicy though, like cinnamon), but whatever tea you brew, add honey to it. Honey will coat the back of your throat and help you to speak and sing, but don't expect your very best with a really bad sore throat, because you may have strep throat, and tea won't help that, you'll need antibiotics. It might help to drink tea with honey right before your audition to lubricate your throat.

Answer 2

Ant type of tea will work- it is the heat that soothes the sore throat. Make the tea and add lots of lemon for vitamin C- no milk or cream, and drink while VERY hot. But a perfect cure is one my Mother made all of us: Boil 4 cups chicken broth ( homemade is best) with 1/2 chopped onion, 1 crushed garlic clove, 1/2 jalapeno pepper, (These are the main ingredients- if you have celery, parsley, peppercorns, ham- add whatever you would normally to a broth) and cook for 20 minutes. Strain. Pour broth in a cup and squeeze 1/2 lemon in broth- serve and make them drink it REALLY hot. Works every time!

There is a special tea that the navajos take. You have to drink a lot of it. every day, all day. Just be careful at night, you don't want to drown in your teapee. hahaha .Sorry. I would take a lemon tea with a lot of honey. best wishes and break a leg!

Answer 4

Think salad dressing.
Make a real strong salad dressing with olive oil, apple cidar vinegar and lots or grated garlic. The olive oil will coat the throat, the vinegar is good for you and the garlic will fight infection. Gargle with it and let the garlic come in contact with the sore portion of your throat. Go easy on the vinegar because that can make you cough. Or leave it out altogether. You can sip on this and when you are feeling better, put it on a salad.
