Echinacea Throat Spray
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon each dried echinacea, ginger, thyme, and mint
- ¼ cup boiling water
- Food-grade alcohol like vodka or rum
- Pint-size mason jar with lid
- Glass spray bottle
Instructions
- Combine the echinacea, ginger, thyme, and mint in a mason jar.
- Add ¼ cup boiling water and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Fill the rest of the jar with a food grade alcohol and let sit for at least two weeks to achieve maximum potency.
- Transfer the mixture to a glass spray bottle and spray the tincture directly on the back of your throat regularly for as long as you have a sore throat.
- For a speedier option: combine the herbs in a mason jar and add enough boiling water to cover the herbs. Let steep for 20 minutes, then strain out the herbs and mix the tea with an equal amount of food-grade alcohol. Transfer to a glass spray bottle and spray as needed.
