best tea for...?

What would be the best tea for a 4 yr old with a cold to drink, to soothe his throat and get his voice back?? How do you prepare your little ones tea?

Peppermint tea with lots of honey.

Chamomile tea. Don't let it steep for more than 5 minutes, remove the bag or loose-herb-infuser, and add honey, lemon and some milk/dairy free milk (whichever your preference). It's also great for breaking fevers. Just don't mix herbs and drugs, they'll counteract each other.

I make the tea as the box says, and I add 1/2 tsp of truvia and 1 tbsp of heavy cream.

This is their favorite for when they are sick.

They, also, like:

Any red/rooibos tea has a low caffeine content. I usually give my daughter lemon or orange rooibos tea (or add the juice and a little rind of any citrus fruit to regular red tea). Add a little honey to sooth the cough and sore throat.
