Haha, my grandmother and mother have that kind of tongue. It's like I taste something and go "HOT HOT!", but when they try it they go: "don't be like a baby, it's cold already".Mmmmm... tea! Although I'm partial to letting it cool for at least 10 minutes before even taking a sip. My parents, on the other hand, have what can only be described as asbestos tongues with regard to that stuff.
Camomile tea is quite nice, but it's definitely an acquired taste. If you put milk in THAT tea, you'll make it taste all kinds of horrible!
Chamomile is the best for my sore throat, but I don't have any...Chamomile tea is perfect if you need a quick boost to combat sickness (like me, I *still* have this horrible cough that won't go away!). I also drink Seven Blossoms Tea. That tea will knock. you. out.
Lemony iced tea for the win. I drink it almost every single day, pretty much.
