Everyone has had a cold at least once in his life, so he knows how painful a cough can be. In most cases, people go to pharmacies for help buying cough medicine. But in combination with these medicines, it is effective to use homemade spicy cough tea. Some believe that cough medications are an old method that has lost its relevance today. However, this is not at all the case. Try to prepare a drink according to this recipe instead of strong pharmaceuticals like Coldrex or Flukold. If the illness is just beginning or you have a common cold, then this tea will stop coughing and activate the body's defenses. This tea will warm up an irritated throat and ease breathing, relieve inflammation and relieve pain, improve blood circulation and speed up recovery. Such tea can be used not only for medicinal purposes, but also to drink instead of regular black or green tea. It will enhance immunity, accelerate the elimination of toxins and infectious agents from the body.
When preparing this drink, you need to follow some rules. So, it must be remembered that tea should be brewed with water not higher than 80-90 degrees. Otherwise, boiling water will kill all the beneficial properties. Do not infuse green tea for more than 15 minutes. Further, its useful substances will be destroyed. If honey is added to the drink, then it is added only when the tea has cooled slightly. Since the properties of honey are destroyed at high temperatures. You don't need to put in a lot of citrus fruits, in particular lemon. It increases acidity and stimulates the production of gastric juice.
