I didn't have a sore throat, but we love herbal tea on cold afternoons and this sounded good. It was! I had to buy mint and sage this time of year, but going to try making this iced during the summer when we have fresh in the garden. I would cut the amount of lemon juice in half next time (personal taste). I subbed agave nectar for the honey. Made for Best of 2012 tag game.
