Cough Syrup

A honey, lemon, and ginger syrup that coats and soothes a scratchy throat — honey's own studies show it can be as effective as some over-the-counter cough suppressants.

What you'll need

Steps

  1. Warm honey gently and stir in ginger.
  2. Let steep 15 minutes, then strain.
  3. Stir in lemon juice and bottle.
  4. Take 1 tsp as needed for a cough.
Tip: Never give honey to children under one year old — it carries a small risk of infant botulism.
