Honey has antibiotic properties, and working together with tea, can really help soothe a sore and itchy throat.

AND A FRESH LEMON SLICE

As we know, Vitamin C is widely considered a main player in the defence arsenal against winter illnesses. Lemon gives a great boost of Vitamin C and adds a beautiful dimension to a warm cup of green tea.
