Blend together and take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of this mixture every hour of day; don't chase it with any liquid. This can get rid of strep throat in 24-48 hours. (I've used this recipe in lieu of antibiotics and it works). I like finding these old, tried and true recipes & they seem to always include honey along with the herbs, and sometimes apple cider vinegar. P. Priest, Northern New York
