We've looked at lots of effective ways to battle cold symptoms, but a sore throat tags along with several illnesses and is particularly annoying on its own.

Here is the story you chose for your Facebook Story of the Day.

If you need relief from the pain, you probably have the primary ingredient sitting in your fridge: mustard.

Farmer's Almanac offers the full recipe:

Grind one tablespoon of mustard seed and combine with the juice of half a lemon, one tablespoon of salt, one tablespoon of clear honey, and 1 1/4 cups of boiling water.

Leave this mixture, covered, for 15 minutes and use as a gargle.

This is likely similar to the popular cayenne pepper throat remedy.

While the cayenne pepper option offers initial relief, it can hurt more in the long run.
