Cough Tea

Simple, Safe Cold and Cough Tea

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp. mullein leaves and flowers
• 1 tsp. fenugreek seeds
• 1 c. water

Directions:

Boil water.  Add the mullein and fenugreek and allow it to steep for 10 - 15 minutes.  Strain, sweeten lightly with raw honey (if desired) and drink while hot.  Drinking hot seems to help open up the sinuses and clear them out, as well as relieve a sore throat.

Sometimes I make it much stronger and let it sit for an hour or two.  But, you should be aware that mullein can help you sleep.  I haven't noticed feeling drowsy while taking it, but I have noticed sleeping more deeply -- so don't take too much until you know how it affects you.  (I slept better with a much, much stronger drink than this one -- probably 1/4 c. or more of mullein in 1/2 c. water.)
