Before singing, herbal tea helps to soothe your throat, which tea is your favorite?
Posted by pano | Under Herbal Teas & Remedies Tuesday Sep 7, 2010*repost* this fits into more than one section
i know to add honey, and not to drink caffenated tea, but what herbal tea works best, or is your personal favorite?
for the record, my favorite is peppermint…but i’m not sure if that is good or not
Personal favourites: rooibos tea [with a drop of milk], peppermint tea, nettle tea, hibiscus tea and chamomile tea….probably in that order too. Hibiscus tea is quite sour so needs quite a bit of honey, but apart from that I mostly drink my herbal teas unsweetened.
If you fancy a tea similar to ordinary tea without the caffeine naturally try rooibos or honeybush tea and you can drink that with a little milk if that is how you would drink ordinary tea.
You might benefit from adding a little slippery elm bark as well as honey if you are a singer. And the herb mullein may help.
Peppermint tea may have a mild germicidal effect, at the start of a sore throat that may have bacterial origins.

Enjoy your teas and good luck with the singing..
I have a sister-n-law who sings…she’s very big in Texas and she drink a lot of lemon juice. Since you like herb teas which I also love and drink all day because its not caffienated. Herb teas with hyssop is also good for bronchial because sometimes with bronchials the voice can go hoarse.
