Warm Honey and Lemon

A comforting mug of warm water, honey and lemon.

"My son, eat thou honey, because it is good."
Proverbs 24:13, KJV

People have long turned to warm water with honey and a squeeze of lemon when their throat feels scratchy. Stir 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey and the juice of half a lemon into a mug of warm (not boiling) water. Many find it comforting.

See a doctor or licensed counselor if things feel severe, last more than a few days, or keep coming back.
