Warm Radish and Honey Tea: Soothing for Coughs and Sore Throats
Super Easy Radish and Honey Tea for Cold Season
Hello there! Nourishment is strength. As the weather turns chilly, many of us experience scratchy throats or persistent coughs. The radish and honey tea I’m sharing today is a traditional beverage known to help alleviate these symptoms. Radish is rich in amylase, an enzyme that aids digestion and nutrient absorption. Its abundant dietary fiber also acts as a natural cleanser for the digestive tract. Furthermore, radish has cooling properties beneficial for reducing fever, and it’s historically recognized in traditional medicine for its effectiveness in soothing coughs and sore throats. This recipe is incredibly simple, requiring no special ingredients or complicated steps, making it easy for anyone to prepare at home. Enjoy this simple radish and honey tea regularly to support your health, especially during the changing seasons!
Main Ingredients- 1.5 Tbsp fresh radish juice (grated radish)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 cup (approx. 200ml) hot water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, we begin by preparing the fresh radish and extracting its juice.
Step 2
To achieve a finely grated radish juice, using a grater is the most convenient and effective method. Please be careful when grating to avoid injuring your hands.
Step 3
Here is the fresh radish juice, finely grated using a grater. This makes it easy to measure out the 1.5 tablespoon portion.
Step 4
Next, prepare 1 tablespoon of honey, which will add a delightful sweetness. Honey plays a crucial role in mellowing the radish’s slightly sharp flavor.
Step 5
In a nice teacup, add the 1.5 tablespoons of freshly grated radish juice. The volume of grated radish can seem more than you expect, so be sure to measure out the 1.5 tablespoons accurately.
Step 6
Boil 1 cup (approximately 200ml) of water in an electric kettle, then carefully pour the hot water into the teacup with the radish juice. Pour the steaming hot water gently.
Step 7
After pouring the hot water, you’ll notice the clear water becoming slightly cloudy due to the fibrous components from the radish. This is a natural occurrence, so don’t worry.
Step 8
Now, add 1 tablespoon of honey to gently neutralize the radish’s characteristic pungent and slightly spicy flavor, making it more palatable and adding sweetness. Stir well. Honey is essential for balancing the radish’s taste, so be sure to include it.
Step 9
And there you have it! Your warm and fragrant radish and honey tea is ready, perfect for soothing coughs and sore throats. Enjoy this healthy beverage to warm yourself up on chilly days!
