I have started to drink Green Tea. I have been reading up on herbal remedies..and seems that one is the best, although I still love my warm water and honey, Green Tea is the way to go.

I have to brew green tea with another flavored tea otherwise it tastes smoky in my mouth, it's odd. But it is chock-full of great things!!

J.S. Bach, Coffee Cantata, BWV 211
Coffee Cantata, part 1
Recitative
Narrator:
Be quiet, stop chattering,
and pay attention to what's taking place
here comes Herr Schlendrian
with his daughter Lieschen;
he's growling like a honey bear.
Hear for yourselves, what she has done to him!
Aria
Schlendrian:
Don't one's children cause one
endless trials & tribulations!
What I say each day
to my daughter Lieschen
falls on stony ground.
Recitative
Schlendrian: You wicked child, you disobedient girl,
oh! when will I get my way;
give up coffee!
Lieschen: Father, don't be so severe!
If I can't drink
my bowl of coffee three times daily,
then in my torment I will shrivel up
like a piece of roast goat.
Aria
Lieschen:
Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes,
more delicious than a thousand kisses,
mellower than muscatel wine.
Coffee, coffee I must have,
and if someone wishes to give me a treat,
ah, then pour me out some coffee!
Recitative
Schlendrian: If you don't give up drinking coffee
then you shan't go to any wedding feast,
nor go out walking.
oh! when will I get my way;
give up coffee!
Lieschen: Oh well!
Just leave me my coffee!
Schlendrian: Now I've got the little minx!
I won't get you a whalebone skirt
in the latest fashion.
Lieschen: I can easily live with that.
Schlendrian: You're not to stand at the window
and watch people pass by!
Lieschen: That as well, only I beg of you,
leave me my coffee!
Schlendrian: Furthermore, you shan't be getting
any silver or gold ribbon
for your bonnet from me!
Lieschen: Yes, yes! only leave me to my pleasure!
Schlendrian: You disobedient Lieschen, you,
so you go along with it all!
Aria
Schlendrian:
Hard-hearted girls
are not so easily won over.
Yet if one finds their weak spot,
ah! then one comes away successful.
Coffee Cantata, part 2
Recitative
Schlendrian: Now take heed what your father says!
Lieschen: In everything but the coffee.
Schlendrian: Well then, you'll have to resign yourself
to never taking a husband.
Lieschen: Oh yes! Father, a husband!
Schlendrian: I swear it won't happen.
Lieschen: Until I can forgo coffee?
From now on, coffee, remain forever untouched!
Father, listen, I won't drink any
Schlendrian: Then you shall have a husband at last!
Aria
Lieschen:
Today even
dear father, see to it!
Oh, a husband!
Really, that suits me splendidly!
If it could only happen soon
that at last, before I go to bed,
instead of coffee
I were to get a proper lover!
Recitative
Narrator:
Old Schlendrian goes off
to see if he can find a husband forthwith
for his daughter Lieschen;
but Leischen secretly lets it be known—
no suitor is to come to my house
unless he promises me,
and it is also written into the marriage contract,
that I will be permitted
to make myself coffee whenever I want.
Trio
A cat won't stop from catching mice,
and maidens remain faithful to their coffee.
The mother holds her coffee dear,
the grandmother drank it also,
who can thus rebuke the daughters!
