I used to give this tea to my kids when they were feeling under the weather, but I'm not a doctor. I would suggest that after the tea has brewed you add an ice cube to tame the temps for little ones. ALSO, please note that you should never give honey to a child under the age of 12 months due to a risk of botulism. Many healthcare providers also suggest that, like peanut butter, you give your tots their first taste of honey outside a hospital in the event that they have bee allergies.
