While excessive consumption of this beverage may be harmful to one's health, experts claim that consuming tea in moderation, even on a daily basis, doesn't spell any real danger. Some special tea mixes can even improve your health and boost your lung immunity. In a video shared on Instagram, content creator Ancient Digin shared her special ginger and licorice tea recipe and claimed it to be a soothing drink that helps repair and nourish your lungs after a cough, cold, or flu.
