Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil.

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow the ingredients to steep and release their beneficial properties.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly before straining the liquid into a heatproof mug or pitcher to remove the solids.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and honey until fully dissolved. If using, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick to clear congestion.
Pour into mugs and sip slowly while the mixture is warm. For best results, drink this remedy 2-3 times a day during periods of congestion or illness.
