Summary: Cold and flu season is in full swing, certainly in the Ask House! Of course people like their honey & lemon tea but this is a Mr Ask special. He finds the menthol really helps the nose and calms the throat, the tea cuts through throat crud and the optional asprin helps with fever, aches and pains. Of course when taking asprin be sure to check with your doctor or chemist that it’s okay for you to take, especially with cold and flu tablets or other medication. If you make this up for children, make sure the dose is appropriate. Mr Ask swears by this and I hope it helps you too xx
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 butter menthol throat lozenges

Instructions
- Heat the water and butter menthols in a small saucepan (you could try the microwave but I haven’t) and bring to the boil.

- Pour into a mug and drink the soothing brew
