Horehound tea with honey

Updated on 10 October 2026

• Makes: 1 cup
• Time: 10 min
• From: White horehound

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon dried (or 2 teaspoons fresh) horehound leaves
• 250 ml water
• 1 spoonful of honey
• a slice of lemon (optional)

Method

1. Bring the water to the boil.
2. Put the leaves in a tea infuser and pour over the water.
3. Leave to steep for 5 to 10 minutes: the longer, the more bitter.
4. Strain, stir in the honey and drink warm, with lemon if you like.
