Tea to remedy coughing

People who either not know me too well or live on meds, recommended with much enthusiasm countless over-the-counter medicines to cure the flu and coughing: drops, tablets, sprays, you-name-it… If they knew me better, they’d known I cure everything with an aspirin (or ibuprofen or paracetamol) or with natural remedies.

A very good friend, adept of herbalism, recommended the following tea —which I happened to have all the ingredients at hand. With only two teas, my coughing was almost gone! Of course, then yesterday they invited me to a gathering, and with all the talking and laughing, my coughing was back :S You can ask so much of a tea!
