Cinnamon Sore Throat Tea

by 64 Comments

Cinnamon Sore Throat Tea

I’ve been under the weather (but this Cinnamon Sore Throat Tea helps). It’s easy to make even when you’re sick. And, it’s delicious. Best of all it’ll help sooth your sore throat because it’s the best tea for sore throat.

Sore throat tea

And, I’m not a good sick person. You know how some women complain about their husbands that the men are horrible sick people? Well, that’s me in our house. I’m the horrible sick person. I whine. I complain. I cry. I don’t want to be sick! I hate it. I hate not getting stuff done. Having to lay around. Yuck. I could do without all of that.

So, anything that helps me feel better, I’m ALL for! That’s where this Cinnamon Sore Throat Tea comes in. It’s good. It soothes and coats. It comforts. It tastes yummy. And, it’s easy to make, so even if you’re home alone and don’t feel like doing anything, you can make it quickly and crawl back in bed.

I like that this Cinnamon Sore Throat Tea has ginger to help nausea as well, as I often get nauseous when I’m sick.

Use the milk of your choice, dairy, plant-based, it’s all good. Besides, I’m a big believer in using what already tastes good to you. For the pictures I used two different kinds of milk so you could see there’s a little difference in the way it looks. I used cashew milk and my husband’s 2% dairy milk. Both were good. Both coated and soothed.

And, if you’re worried about the fact that milk may increase mucus (as many people have commented), again, feel free to use plant-based milk, as it works great! There are so many kinds of milks that taste good – coconut, cashew, rice, almond, soy, dairy milk, cream, use what you like, and what you feel comfortable with.

I hope you feel better soon!

  5. I am so sorry you have been feeling under the weather for so long Debi! I bet this healing tea has helped…it looks incredibly yummy and comforting. Feel better soon!

  7. I hope you’re feeling better. I’m all for ginger and honey and natural remedies. This is my kind of tea I’ll try it the next time I need it 🙂

  9. Sorry to hear that you’ve been under the weather. No fun 🙁 Glad you came up with this wonderful recipe though to help get you through it. Mmm, cinnamon, ginger and honey tea sounds so good!

  10. I’ve been under the weather myself and this tea sounds so soothing. I’ve got quite a bit of congestion, so I’d probably stick with the cashew milk or almond milk to avoid dairy, but the ginger and cinnamon sound so good together! Hope you feel better soon!

  11. Renee, I thought of the congestion part too. My cold didn’t have much congestion, but lots of coughing! I bet this would be delicious made with water too. A little less coating that way, but still good! I hope you feel better soon!

  18. Hope you’re on the mend! Let me just say…I’m the biggest baby when I’m sick. I HATE IT (I know everyone does, but I’m an awful sick person, too)! This tea sounds great — will be perfect when the bugs hit!

  19. Umm I am sorry you are sick but I have a dumb question how is this tea if there is no tea in it?

  20. Sharyl, I thought of that as well, but decided to go with the original recipe name. And, it’s kinda like an herbal tea infusion but with spices. Besides, the English language is always changing, so it’s all good!

  21. I hope you’re feeling better and I am sure you are now after having that delicious tea.I love the spiced milks and can have them about anytime whether sick or not .

  22. I made this in October when I caught a nasty cold bug. The smell alone is good enough to make you feel better, but it also tastes fantastic. Definitely my new go to drink when I’m sick.
    I have to know…Where did you get your mugs? Specifically the shorter one used here? I’ve been looking for that kind of mug forever!

  23. Thanks Brigitte! That cute little mug came from the thrift store. I love it and I’m always on the lookout for cute stuff like that. Even the larger one came from a garage sale. Wish I was more help for you on the mug area. Hopefully you don’t get sick anytime soon, but nice to have this drink. 🙂 Thanks again for the comment!

  24. The only thing I don’t like about this recipe is that you recommend it during sickness. Dairy should be avoided during periods of increased mucus production. The reason for this being dairy causes mucus to become more viscus.

    Other than that, I give your recipe a big thumbs up. If it contained cocoa powder, itd be my own recipe for a cold weather favorite!

  25. I am not a fan of hot sweet drinks . However this is one I enjoyed. Milk with congestion is not for me. But tonight is blustery and this warmed me right up. Thanks for sharing

  26. You´re a life saver Debi. Thank you very much, for this delicious and efficient tea.
    Greetings from Mexico!!

  29. Kelly, I’ve been asked that question a few times on other recipes. The tall one came from a neighbor’s garage sale, and the short one came from the thrift store. Sorry I can’t be of more help in getting one. But, make sure to look at those places. Besides finding cool stuff, it’s usually a great price!

  31. Spice tea is always my favorite and luckily its good for sore throat. I am going to add only cinnamon and ginger next time like you; because of their amazing healing power they are sufficient in case of sore throat.

  33. I have had a lingering sore throat for a few weeks, needing cough drops day & night (waking up, needing another one…). I ran across this recipe last night, tried it~it’s delicious, & this morning, for the first time in a long time, my throat feels a little better (not as scratchy) & I didn’t need to pop a cough drop. I’m going to go have another cup right now. Thank you so much for sharing!

  34. Marcie, I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well, but very happy to hear this worked for you! Thanks for the comment, it made my day!

  35. This drink is absolutely delicious! I would recommend though, after thoroughly mixing your spices, to strain out the clumps so you are not choking on clumps of ginger or cinnamon. Otherwise its fantastic!

  37. AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! I will drink this even after my sick is gone! I just tried it, and it is so good! Wouldn’t say it would be good for anyone with stomach issues with the sore throat, only because of the dairy, but is working miracles on my throat!

  38. ohh I like this, I know I do drink a cinnamon cahi when not feeling good, but that can be a bit spicy on your throat because everything that is in chai, I gave to make this the next time I geta sore throat!

  42. I could have used this when I was sick last week. I’m definitely saving it for later.

  43. Hello Debi, the cinnamon-ginger-drink instantly made it to my top five list of cold remedies. It surprised me to be not just really spicy and thus hopefully killing the germs but it’s actually very delicious; I doubled cinnamon and ginger for me because I love spicy food. I used organic milk, but can perfectly imagine it with a plantbased drink.
    I’ll also keep it in mind for these moments when I’m just chilly for no obvious reasons or as a comfy drink on a rainy day.
    Let’s see if it can help me surviving the germ factory I’m living in at the moment, my son, daughter and partner caught the flu. I seem to be the only one with a sore throat We’re doing about the flu what the doctors advised us on, but I’m busy researching drinks or syrups to flank the medication. Our 1,5 year old son accepts nothing but milk and yogurt while he’s sick.

  45. I am super sick with a sore throat but THIS TEA IS AMAZING. not only does it taste like dessert, it really helps ! 🙂

  46. Ashley, I’m sorry to hear you’re sick, but happy to hear you have some yummy relief! Hope you feel better soon!

  47. Hi this sounds amazing. I am fighting l the flu currently and definitely want to try this, but I only have ginger candies/ snaps or a ginger jam. Will that work in place of the ginger spice?

    Thanks Melissa

  48. Melissa, I’m sorry to hear you are under the weather. Depending on how the candies or jam are made they may work. If they are just flavored with natural flavor and not made with actual ginger you won’t get the same effect. But, I’d bet they will work. The candies, I’d take one and grind it up a bit – like with a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon in the bottom of the cup. I think you’d want roughly equivalent to the 1/2 teaspoon ginger. For the jam, I’d put it in the bottom of the cup and stir the hot liquid into it until it melts (I would think that it would melt). I’d guess that the jam would be less concentrated than straight ginger, so go for 1 teaspoon or so and see how it is. Since the jam would be sweet, you may need to reduce the amount of honey (but don’t cut it out entirely, as it’s helping the throat as well). Feel better soon!
