To calm those sore throats during cold and flu season, when it feels like dragons fire has burned your windpipe. Blended with moistening marshmallow and licorice root, this tisane is just what the herbalist ordered.
 
A tisane (pronounced teh-zan) is an herbal infusion, generally made for health and wellness, and made from the herbs flowers, roots, leaves, etc. Originally, these were prepared with barley and is where the name ptisane comes from in Greek, which means "peeled barley." This eventually evolved into the Middle English term we have here today, which means "medicinal drink."
