Its that time of year again when your nose starts to get blocked up and your throat feels like you have swallowed a cactus.
To relieve these symptoms, you could suppress your gag reflex long enough to drink a commercial lemon based powdered drink, or you could make your own using natural ingredients.
To make this, you will require:
Boil some water, pour into a mug, add the lemon juice and stir in two teaspoons of honey (or to taste).
Curl up in a comfy chair in front of a roaring fire and feel a lot better very soon. The effect should last for a couple of hours and brings almost total relief to sore throats and blocked noses.
