Honeysuckle, Mai Dong and Fig Tea

Why people make this tea

If your job keeps your voice busy all day, the throat takes a beating, and an irritated throat that never quite settles can drag on for months. Nourilo likes dried figs here because they are gentle and naturally sweet — traditionally they are said to moisten the lungs and soothe the throat. Paired with honeysuckle and mai dong, this becomes an easy daily sipper for anyone whose throat feels perpetually scratchy.
