Cold Remedy Tea
"A spicy light brew that is light on the tea and heavier on the spice, although if you like more tea you can add that. I have made this with lemon juice instead of lime juice as well. It is easy to play around with."

Pleasant and assertive enough to actually taste it despite the way a plugged head blunts flavors. Since I haven't a sieve fine enough to strain ground coriander I made this in the coffeepot -- making a full, 12-cup pot from the ingredients listed plus and extra teabag since you can always get double the brew from tea in the coffeepot. -
This is nice. DD (toddler) is the one with the cold, she said it taste weird but I told her it's medicine and now she keeps sipping it. I found it tasted perfectly fine. I made a half batch using, spring water, 1 Lipton yellow label tea bag which I find stronger and don't like a strong tea so I left it in way less steeping time and then took out the tea bag and continued to steep the tea with the spices for the rest of the 10 minutes. I used creamed honey which I dropped in the hot tea and mixed in after I removed the tea bag. I substituted fresh lemon juice for the lime juice as I didn't have any limes on hand.
