That people today are ignorant and apathetic...
But, frankly I wouldn't know nor do I care.... ;o}

Lemon Honey Tea
LEMON HONEY TEA--
Winter is the time of year that colds and the flu are making their
rounds.
A home remedy that helps to relive sore throats is Lemon Honey Tea.
Our version doesn't use tea, but is very soothing when sipped warm, and occasionally garling with it.
It's easy to make:
Pour boiling water into a mug or insulated cup. Add a heaping tablespoon of honey, and a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice--you can use fresh squeezed, or the bottled juice, like Real Lemon. (You can adjust the amounts to taste.) Stir thoroughly and sip slowly--it helps to swish it around your mouth or even gargle with it to help relieve sore throats.
It's a pretty effective mix... the lemon helps to cut through and break up mucus in the throat. The honey is soothing to irritated tissues as well as has a bacteriostatic (kills bacteria) effect.
It's even a soothing drink to help warm you up after spending time outside shoveling snow, etc.

Welcome!! Blogging is a new thing for me, but I have always enjoyed talking with people; sharing ideas, learning, laughing, and enjoying good conversation.
I have many interests--tinkering, playing musical instruments, reading, family history research, playing with grandkids, and learning as much as I can. I've always had a thirst for knowledge, and I've learned no matter who the person is, they always have something I can learn from them.
So, sit back, put your feet up and relax. If you have a comment, please share it. I ask that we all be civil, avoiding vulgarity, profanity, or mocking things sacred. That makes my job easier, too, as I won't have to delete your comments, etc.
