10 Drinks that Help Sore Throats
Drink #5: Peppermint Tea
Peppermint has powerful anti-inflammatory and slightly numbing properties. Peppermint also has a sweet taste which makes it easy to take without the need to add a sweetener. These properties come in handy when you have a sore throat. Drinking peppermint tea soothes the throat and significantly reduces the pain.
You can purchase ready-made peppermint tea and use it to get relief from a sore throat. Alternatively, use fresh peppermint leaves to make your own. Put a bunch of peppermint leaves in a pot of boiling water, steep for 3–5 minutes, then strain. Once cool, pour one glass and drink. Repeat this treatment three to four times a day.
