A hot drink can warm you up on a cold day, and tea, in particular, can help soothe a number of ailments.

You might drink tea with honey and lemon when you have a sore throat, green tea for its antioxidant benefits, or black tea for a burst of energy. Herbs, such as chamomile and peppermint, might even help relieve menstrual cramps, muscle cramps, and indigestion.

While caffeinated teas can have stimulating benefits, many herbal teas have the opposite effect.
