Preparation method
Bring the water to a boil and add the sprigs of thyme.
Let the tea cook gently for 1 minute.
Pour the tea into a cup or a glass and let it cool for a while. The tea brews even better during cooling and is at the right temperature to add the honey. The special properties of honey can otherwise be destroyed by hot water.
You can also add 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Ginger helps to prevent inflammation, among other things.
Thyme Tea
We all know thyme—a tasty herb that you can use in various dishes. But did you know that you can also make a delicious tea from thyme? And it’s not just any tea.
Freshly made thyme tea has many special properties. It helps to fight a cold effectively, among other things. Thyme dissolves mucus in the respiratory tract, thereby stimulating breathing, helping to prevent violent coughing, and relieving sore throat.
The tea also calms the stomach, relieves nausea, helps with flatulence, promotes digestion, and stimulates blood flow throughout the abdominal area. In addition, thyme has an expectorant effect, contributes to regular menstruation, helps stimulate memory, and has strong antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
You do not have to wait to drink thyme tea until you have symptoms. Thyme tea has a delicious taste. It is refreshing and suitable to be drunk regularly as herbal tea. Give it a try, and enjoy!
Tips:
