My anatomy professor gave a recipe last semester for something like heating up 2 cups water with 2 lemon halves in it to a boil and reducing it to 1 cup. Then add honey to taste. I used it a few times, but I thought that was better suited for sinus/cold type stuff than just strictly a sore throat. I'll try that as well.
