Honey For Sore Throat

The other night my throat was so sore I couldn't swallow, couldn't sleep, and wanted to cry. Instead I took a teaspoon of honey and let it melt in my mouth, trickling slowly down my throat. The honey, an organic, mild flavor, soothed the burning almost immediately. I have heard that a hot drink of honey and lemon also works, but I don't like hot drinks!
