How to make Herbal Tea?

[Globalpeace]

Asslamo Allaikum,

After calling this section MAD I am gonna eat humble pie. ;-)

I have been suffering from severe flu for the last few days & havn't been to work...

For the last 2 days I made Thyme, Ginger, Honey & Lemon tea & two drinks (in the last 2 days) & it has completely cured me....I went for a 25 minute run today & had no problems....

I put Thyme & ginger & let the stuff cook on low-heat for 20-25 minutes and then added honey & Lemon and drank it HOT!

This is the 2nd time I have tested the stuff in flu and it works...

There is a special way to make herbal tea, anyone know?

Salaam,

Brother each culture has it's own variations on the tea. Since I am from the Indo-Pakistani culutre I start with orange peakoke tea. I grate ginger and drop in a cinnamon stick. When that comes to a boil I add two tablespoons of honey ( the dark type ) and the juice of one lemon. Green tea does not do as well for me, sometimes I will use a rose herbal tea but the good old English stuff holds the mixture well.
