Winter Tea
Boneset
Echinacea

Just use equal parts of each, or pre-made tea bags...3 bags, 1 of boneset,1 of echinacea, and 1 of peppermint.
The echinacea works as an immune system builder, the boneset is great for congestion, aches and fever (the classic flu symptoms), and the peppermint aids with any stomach complaints due to drainage from the sinuses, and just works as a great overall "feel-good".
