I’ve been suffering through a bad cold this week and I’ve been in serious need of a good sore throat remedy. When it gets this bad nothing really helps except for hot liquids. My favorite of these is the hot lemon-honey water that my mom used to make me when I was a little girl. I used to love it when she would bring me up a cup before bedtime when I was under the weather. Unfortunately I have to make it for myself now- but it’s still delicious and incredibly soothing!
Sore Throat Remedy
The ingredients are basic, healthy and delicious. Plus they are all 100% natural- no chemicals here! Honey. Lemon. Water.
I like to make my water have a little extra citrus, as it feels incredibly good on my throat so I use 3 Tbsp. of lemon. Feel free to try it with less. Remember, you can always add more later!
The hot water always goes in last. I enjoy watching the honey and lemon dissolve into the water, but there’s not really a rule that says the water is last. Mix it how it works best for you and your kitchen! If you’re heating up the water in it’s mug in the microwave then it’s probably easier to just plop in everything last.
Drink up and feel better!

I was suffering from throat irritation from last few days. Then while doing Google I got your blog and I used your recipe and I must say it’s fantastic. Thanks!!
Keep sharing such good things.
I love this lemon and honey drink in the winter. I’m not sick, it’s just good. I probably use too much honey, but I also use much more lemon juice.
Me too! And can you ever really add “too much honey”?! I love to add extra lemon and honey too- the more flavor the happier I am- I may have to go make a glass for myself now!
