OH, BTW, it is possible to de-caffeinate tea, just like it is possible to de-caffeinate coffee. So, you can buy de-caffeinated black or green tea, that is made from tea tree leaves.

Got it? LOL

Kfamr, I know! I drink hot tea with lemon and honey every time I get a sore throat.

My grandpa used to make it like that ... but with whiskey in it, too. Tasted HORRID, but it certainly worked! I don't make it like that now, but I certainly remember choking it down as a kid. Maybe we just got well out of self-defense.
