When you are encountering illness that involves razor blade feelings in your throat, stuffy/achy head and general malaise, hunt high and low for Twining's Lemon Ginger Tea. Do NOT accept substitutes.
Do not, under any circumstances, settle for Celestial Seasonings Honey Lemon Ginseng Green Tea. In spite of the wicked warrior/god on the box - and the extra long name, beware of the contents. They only seem mild.
The smell? Well. Let me just say this:
It smells like Frat House, post Kegger. Post Little Sister awards. Post bonfire with a refrigerator.
The taste: See above.
Never say I didn't warn you.

Apparently it is lucky that I can say I haven't had that variety! Hope you feel better soon.
frat house post BURRITOS and kegger is worse. I have a tea that smells like that. I threw it away!
I am rushing out to be some Celestial Seasonings Honey Lemon Ginseng Green Tea. I need a lil something. My throat is feeling yucky.
Oh.... I thought it was supposed to taste like that....
I am so not a tea drinker - of any kind. I hear it is analgesic and such. Hope your aches and pains go away soon!
I HOPE suzanne meant the TWININGS tea, and not the Celestials....
I have a lovely tea that is just wonderful, a lemony tasting tea (no ginger though). Can't tell you the brand though, as it's upstairs and I'm downstairs and too lazy to go look.
And I use honey and lemon juice....put several tablespoons (or half a jar, lol) of honey in a resealable container (maybe the honey jar, if you only had 1/2 left), and add lemon juice till the consistency is like a syrup (just a bit thick). Then eat it by the spoonfuls.
My mom used to send me to school with a big jar of honey and lemon mix and a spoon....
Duly noted!
Whoa. I feel TOTALLY warned. Almost TOO warned. Warned enough to purposefully buy the wrong tea, just to see. Because I'm still, at heart, an idiot teenager.
No pain, no gain. Right?
I ♥ you, dude. Feel better soon.
Anything with green tea as a base is supposed to taste awful. It's in the rules, I'm sure of it.
I think Tiff's right. I have some green tea concoction and if I forget to put honey in it - blech.
I like green tea. Sorta. Enough to have it twice a year. If I remember.
Razor blades should not be in throats, is all I'm sayin, is all.
My mom used to feed us honey/ lemon juice/ whiskey for bad sore throats. It worked.
