Mallow flower tea with persistent cough

If you have stubborn, dry or badly coughed cough that just will not stop, I recommend the following:

Soak 1 to 2 teaspoons of mallow flowers (pharmacy) or 1 sachet of mallow tea (teapot or other brand) for 1 cup of tea with hot water, infuse for about 3 to 5 minutes and sweeten to taste with honey or sugar / sweetener.

If you also have a sore throat, I recommend a bit more honey and a bit of lemon juice in the tea. Fennel honey (if you like it) helps to relieve sore throat and soothe dry cough.

Mallow flower tea has an antitussive and expectorant effect. In the pharmacy you get loose, dried mallow flowers (bluish to purple flowers). Finished teabags often contain rosehip or hibiscus flavor, giving the tea a more fruity note.

This tea has a red color and tastes more or less fruity depending on the type (loosely or bagged tea). Is also very good for children.
