Instructions

• 1

  Fill a microwave-safe coffee cup with water and place it inside the microwave for 60 seconds. Test the heat of the water when it comes out and add for more time if you prefer it hotter.

• 2

  Measure out 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice and add to the cup. Stir the mixture until the lemon juice combines with the water.

• 3

  Add one teaspoon of honey and taste the finished product. The amount of honey you add depends on your personal preference. You can add as little as one teaspoon or any other amount you prefer. The honey helps with the muscle aches, but also adds a sweetness to the tea.

  Drink one cup in the morning and another cup when you feel a pain. Those with regular pain such as the pains caused by arthritis should drink a cup in the morning and a cup at night. Others like drinking a cup directly before bed, which helps them sleep easier.

  Make the herbal honey and lemon mixture as soon as you feel a muscle ache coming on. The faster you drink the tea, the faster you'll notice the results.
