Preparation Steps:
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
Add the thyme, eucalyptus, ginger, and licorice root.
Cover with a lid and let it infuse for 10 minutes with the heat turned off.
Strain and pour into a cup.
Add honey only when the tea has cooled slightly, to preserve its beneficial properties.
When to Drink It:
1–2 cups per day, ideally morning and evening, for at least 3–4 consecutive days
Excellent before bed to support restful sleep and reduce nighttime coughing
Helpful Tips:
Licorice warning: If you have high blood pressure or are on certain medications, avoid licorice or consult a healthcare professional.
Drink the tea slowly, inhaling the steam to help decongest the nasal passages.
You can prepare a larger batch and store it in a thermos to sip throughout the day.
