Nice flavour though I simmered it for less time. This made me feel better while drinking it. I think this may help more for aches and pains in the body as ginger is really good at calming stomachs. I may try it again.

I've tried so many sore throat and/or cough remedies on Zaar and none have worked as well (except one recipe from Rita). I halved the recipe too, but should have made the whole thing. My DH said it helped his throat and my DD said it helped her cough a little. And they both liked the flavor, which is a huge plus. I'm having a hard time finding natural remedies for colds that the kids will take. Thanks so much! This will go into my Best of 2009 cookbook.

Oh, this taste so good to my scratchy, sore throat! I simmered the ginger and the lemon zest(I used orange) for about 20 mins. and added the mint(I used spearmint) after I turned off the burner and let it steep about 10 mins. I did use dry mint since that's all I had. My throat thanks you!

I have always loved the flavor of tea and honey which I drink whenever I have a sore throat or just need to take the chill out of by bones. What made this recipe outstanding was adding the mint and lemon zest. Thanks for posting!
