Mucolytic Herbal Tea

As the weather cools down, having this tea on hand to reduce the severity and duration of sore throats, ease respiratory issues and reduce mucous is always handy.

Licorice root and Mullein are expectorants, helping to clear excess mucus from the upper and lower airways.

Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that aid in treating infections of mucus membranes and respiratory tract.

The menthol in peppermint works as a decongestant, shrinking swollen membranes in the nose and making it easier to breathe.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup peppermint tea

• 1/4 cup chamomile flowers

• 1/4 cup mullein tea

• 1/4 licorice root, cut

Method:

• Combine all of the herbal tea’s into a large jar, and shake to combine and ensure they form a uniform mintier.

• Place 3-4 tablespoons of the mucolytic tea into a teapot with 70-90 degree water and steep for 5-10 minutes to receive the therapeutic actions of the tea.

• Enjoy!
