Not a traditional tea, but my wife makes a drink when one of us is starting to get a cold I actually enjoy.
She boils dried dates, cinnamon sticks, the roots of green onions, and ginger together. Maybe garlic?
I add a little honey and it is good!
for me it's Genmaicha. a Japanese Green tea, a mixture of a Sencha and popped Genmai (hulled rice kernels) it's almost like drinking rice krispies sans sugar and milk
Funny, this popped into my head when I read the thread title. I really like it as something different and I've already converted one of the chaps at work to it as well.
