Honey lemon tea recipe soothes the throat and eases colds.
Honey lemon tea is basically hot water in which you add lemon and honey there is no tea here. Our paediatrician had recommended this soothing brew for my daughter when she was younger.
You can add tulsi/holy basil when you heat the water. In Goa when a child is small they also add black raisins to help ease cold.
