FAQs

Quick questions

Why warm water instead of boiling?

Warm or room-temperature water keeps the cup gentle and dissolves honey without a harsh scald. Either works for this educational steep.

Must it be Manuka honey?

The original tip names Manuka. Any plain honey can stand in for a kitchen throat drink if Manuka is unavailable. Skip honey for infants under one year.

Does this boost immunity?

No. Treat it as kitchen support for a scratchy throat, not an immunity product or antibiotic substitute.
