There's something deeply British about reaching for the kettle in a crisis. But which brew actually delivers the goods when you're under the weather or just knackered?
Put the items in your preferred order.
Classic Builder's Tea
The no-nonsense workhorse that's fuelled the nation through everything from bereavements to bin day. Some swear it fixes anything short of a broken leg.
Lemon and Ginger
Zingy, warming and vaguely virtuous-feeling. Perfect when you're fending off a cold and want to believe you're doing something about it.
Peppermint Tea
The go-to when you've overdone the Sunday roast and need your stomach to stop staging a protest. Soothing without being sleepy.

Camomile Before Bed
That gentle, hay-like hug in a mug that convinces your brain it's time to wind down. Whether it actually works or it's placebo, we don't care.

Earl Grey with a Slice
Bergamot-scented and faintly aristocratic, it feels like a proper little moment. Ideal for pretending you've got your life together.
