Echinacea is commonly used as a cold cure; while there appears to be little evidence that it prevents or cures colds, it does seem to relieve the symptoms by lowering inflammation. The plant is part of the daisy family, and various parts of it are used. It is the root that is used here, and the flavour is mild licorice, earthy parsnip, very soft and pleasant, and then balance by the mild sweetness of raspberry - though the raspberry flavour tends to get lost under the weight of the echinacea root. It's a very pleasant and relaxing drink. I like the licorice flavour, and may explore this plant further.
Score: 6
