We’ve all had that awful, scratchy sore throat that makes swallowing a misery. You just want to hunker down with hot tea and lozenges, praying for relief. But what if there’s a quicker fix? One that takes just two minutes? It’s my nana’s remedy, and it works like a charm every time. The secret? Honey and lemon.
The Power Pair: Honey and Lemon
Honey and lemon have been soothing sore throats for ages. But the real trick my nana taught me is all about how you use them. It’s not just mixing; it’s making a mix that coats your throat for instant, lasting relief.
You only need two things:
1 tablespoon of raw, organic honey (best choice)
1/2 fresh lemon or 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Step 1: Prep the Stuff
Squeeze half a lemon into a small bowl or right onto a spoon. No fresh lemon? Use a tablespoon of bottled juice.
