- 1 TBSP licorice root
- 2 TBSP fresh lemon juice

- Put the licorice root into a pot along with 2 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce and simmer with the lid on for 10 minutes. Strain the tea into a quart sized jar.
- When the licorice decoction is very warm, but no longer hot, stir in the honey, lemon juice, and marshmallow infusion.
- Sip warm as needed for a sore, dry throat. This can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 days and reheated as necessary.
