Symptom cutting tea

How many times have you had a cold or a sinus irritation and a full slate of clients that day? What have you done short of cancelling your clients?
I've been using an herbal-type tea to cut the symptoms. And it works well for me.
Into a large cup put: 
One black tea bag
One Starlight pinwheel peppermint
One Lemonhead lemon drop
One menthol cough drop
One to Two tablespoons honey 
Pour boiling hot water over all.
Remove tea bag when the tea is as dark as you like it (remember: real lemon juice will bleach the color of the tea)
Stir often until the drops melt; then sip slowly as hot as you can until gone. 
Substitutions for all or any combination of: 
                        one drop essential oil of peppermint 
                        one drop essential oil of eucalyptus
                        1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
                         one to two tablespoons maple syrup 
This concoction has stopped my sore throats, coughing and, most importantly, nose drips!
I drink the tea about 3 or 4 times a day depending on the seriousness of the affliction  but especially just before the next client comes.
Truthfully, I have often covered the reality of a cold with an excuse of an allergy attack to my concerned clients.
Let me if it works for you.
