1. Gargle salt water - now I don ' t mean go down to the beach and get a cup full. In fact that probably will actually make it worse!

You can make these as small or large as you want, depends on how much you like lemon. ( If you don ' t care for lemon very much I would say start off small to try it first ). Then squeeze some honey onto the lemon I use about a ½ to 1 teaspoon full. This gives it a nice sweet taste and cuts some of the bitter taste of the lemon. Then place the honey covered wedge in your mouth with the rind between your lips ( like kids do to make silly faces ) and suck very slowly.

* This probably helps the most out of all of my tricks. For me this will last at least a few hours!
