I am drinking vast amounts of tea...  cloud9:

Lemon, honey and ginger. Lemon for the vit C, honey to soothe the throat and ginger for the antibactrial properties it contains. I zest three lemons, squeeze them, grate an inch of ginger, half a cinammon stick and a few cloves, boil with water in a large pot and drink all day, just keep topping it up with water. Manuka honey is best but pricey, stir in to taste once it is in your mug.

Not as good for you as Wenchy's Brew.  noooo: The caffine over stimulates and doesn't hydrate you in fact the total opposite. Plus if you are drinking it with milk, dairy increases phlegm production.
