“October is definitely my favorite month. The colors in the trees, the cozy and comfortable clothes, the tastings of hot drinks and me wrapped up in a blanket!

All these little pleasures being due to the change in temperature, the problem is that they are more often than not accompanied by sore throats. To fully savor autumn and its warm palette of orange colors, I suggest you a comforting lollipop with honey and orange blossom tea. Simple to perform, delicious and effective in soothing the symptoms of the cold that sets in slowly.

A homemade lollipop with a real orange taste, colorful, natural and with multiple benefits. What better way to share with young and old for Halloween? »
