Throat Coat Tea
- 8 grams licorice root (broken up into 2-centimeter pieces)
- 1 gram slippery elm bark
- 1 gram marshmallow root
- 2 grams wild cherry bark
- 2 grams fennel seeds (or bitter fennel fruit)
- 2 grams cinnamon bark (broken up into 2-centimeter pieces)
- 2 grams bitter orange peel (or sweet orange peel)
- Combine all the ingredients. When you're ready to make tea, you have a two options: Bring a cup of water to a boil, add a tablespoon of tea, then simmer gently for 15 minutes. Strain, pour into a cup, sip. Or, put a tablespoon of tea in a tea pot or mug-or in a tea bag and then in a tea pot or mug-and add a cup of water. Let steep for 30 minutes before drinking. I've found that the former method is better at activating the slippery elm, which gives the tea the soothing, "slippery" feeling.
