Linden herbal tea for those cold winter nights

Linden leaves are a great remedy for colds, coughs, fevers, even headaches. I prefer to use the leaves straight from the tree, rather than the dried types.

In a pot add a small handful of linden leaves, half a lemon, a small stem of ginger, a few peppercorns and 1 dried chilli (the chilli works wonders for a sore throat). Add boiling water and brew for 10 minutes.

Can be served with sugar or honey.
