I like to use herbal teas when I have a sore throat, and Celestial Seasonings make some of the best! Flavors that are good with sore throats are: Tension Tamer, Ecinachea, Sleepy Time, Peppermint, and Honey Vanilla Cammomile.

Apple cider works just as well as some of the hot teas out there…its just a matter of the hot liquid soothing your throat!
