Discover Aragorn's Athelas Tea, a powerful herbal remedy to soothe congestion, alleviate sore throats, and calm dry coughs. This comforting drink blends fresh ginger, invigorating mint, potent garlic, zesty lemon, and sweet honey, boosted with Echinacea for immune support, offering natural relief for common cold symptoms.
Place Ginger, Mint and Garlic (peeled, but not crushed!) in a cheesecloth and tie off. Add to boiling water and cook for 5-7 min. Turn off heat and add lemon juice. Remove spices and transfer to an insulated tea pot. Into each cup, add a tsp. of honey (or to taste), and Echinacea extract according to the bottle’s instructions.
since herb-lore of Middle-Earth is mostly confined to herbs native to the Shire, records of True Athelas are scarce. However, it seems by all accounts that Mint is the closest relative.
