DESCRIPTION

To fight colds in the 1700s, Colonists turned to a mixture of horehound, honey, and thyme brewed together in a cough and cold remedy tea. The flavor brings together three common medicinals: Horehound, a bitter, earthy, and slightly minty flavor, some say is related to root beer and licorice; Honey is sweet, of course; and Thyme which has a warm, slightly peppery, taste.

To prepare this unusual tea, add two teaspoons Colonial Cough & Cold Remedy Tea to a cup of hot water. Allow to steep for 3 minutes or longer, depending on your taste. When the tea is ready, add lemon, extra honey or amber beet sugar, or a dash of milk or cream.

True Treats’ Colonial Cough & Cold Remedy also makes an excellent toddy. The earliest record of a medicinal toddy, “a beverage made of alcoholic liquor with hot water, sugar, and spices” is from 1786, although Robert Bentley Todd is credited with popularizing prescribing the hot toddy in the 1800s. You’ll find a recipe that marries these two remedy drinks in our “Ideas and Inspirations” dropdown.
