Soothing Throat Drops
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp loose leaf red raspberry leaf tea
- 1 tbsp loose leaf peppermint tea
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup honey
- 4-8 drops essential oil optional
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil and add teas, cinnamon, and ginger. Remove sauce pan from the heat and let it steep for about 10 minutes.
- Strain off water, and pour the liquid into a saucepan.
- Add honey and bring to a boil.
- Boil until liquid reaches 300º, use a candy/meat thermometer to check the temperature.
- Let mixture cool slightly, to allow the mixture to thicken.
- If using essential oils, add them into the mixture now. (See my favorite blends below.)
- Roll out a piece of parchment paper and drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the paper.
- Allow the soothing throat drops to cool and harden
- Sprinkle the soothing throat drops with vitamin C powder to prevent them from sticking together and to add an extra immune support. Store in an airtight container.
