Licorice Root Gargle for Sore Throat Relief
Ingredients:

1 tablespoon dried licorice root

1 cup water

Instructions:

Boil the water and add the licorice root.

Let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes.

Strain out the licorice root and allow the liquid to cool slightly until warm.

(Optional) Stir in the salt for additional antibacterial benefits.

Gargle with the warm licorice tea for 30 seconds at a time, then spit it out. Repeat 3–4 times.
