Well it's that time of the year again...I made it through the first month of school and the germs finally got to me. Nothing major, just a bug that has me feeling yucky. The worst is that tired achy feeling being sick gives you. This morning (before I started feeling really bad and left work) I decided to stop at Starbucks for a little feel better drink. Did you know that they have special concoctions they will make for you when you are sick {you could order them anytime really, but like ginger ale I can only drink them when I don't feel well}? Different baristas have different recipes that they make, so here are some I have come across so far...I made the names up, but the combos come straight from the baristas at my local Starbucks:
Apple Chai
Steamed apple juice
1 Chai tea bag
2 packets of honey
*this is what I had this morning and it was wonderful
Apple Refresher
Steamed apple juice
1 Refresh tea bag
2 packets of honey
Sinus Buster
1 Calm tea bag
1 Refresh tea bag
2 packets of honey
Steep in hot water
Lemon Sinus Buster
Steamed lemonade
1 Calm tea bag
1 Refresh tea bag
2 packets of honey
Lemon Calm
Steamed lemonade
1 Calm tea bag
2 packets of honey
Lemon Refresh
Steamed lemonade
1 Refresh tea bag
2 packets of honey
You can have any of them with or without honey, but I think it is soothing for a sore throat and always like to add it to my sickie drinks.
Hopefully you don't need to enjoy these any time soon, but if you do I hope they help. Do you have any soothing sickie beverages you drink?
