Recipe: Butterfly Pea Honey Lemon Tea (Home Remedy for Eliminating Phlegm)

Today's Recipe: 

Butterfly Pea Honey Lemon Tea
Drinking warm lemon water mixed with honey is a time-honored way to soothe a sore throat. But honey alone may be an effective cough suppressant too. On the other hand, lemon helps to increase immunity against these infections, and when you drink the concoction of hot water, lemon and honey, it loosens mucus, calms the throat, and clears the irritating airways. Adding Butterfly pea flower, the blue tea is an antioxidant-rich food that is responsible for the positive health benefits. Serve and drink hot for better effects.
