Homemade Cough Syrup

This year my resolution is trying to be even more frugal! As well as trying to live a more natural and healthy lifestyle. As a result I'm making my own cough syrup. There are several recipes online that uses all sorts of ingredients. I want something that would be good for my son as well as for my husband and myself. So the Whiskey cough syrup is out of the question! I found one that on YouTube that has a great tutorial: Grandma Barb's Homemade Cough Syrup

But here's my little tutorial and it just uses 3 simple ingredients!


Here's what you need:

1 1/2 Cups Organic Raw Honey (Raw Honey works well too)
1/2 Cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Extra Virgin Olive Oil works well too)
1-5 Organic Lemons, Juiced (Regular FRESH Lemons work great too!)(I use the lemons from my lemon tree)


Step 1:
Add honey, olive oil and lemon juice to a small pot. Stir.

Step 2:
Heat over medium heat just until steaming, stirring. (DO NOT BOIL)

Step 3:
Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 4:
Place into a jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator. Take 1tbsp warmed as needed.

Tips:
Do not give to children under 1 and who are allergic to honey. Use as soon as you feel a cold coming on. Stir and warm before using. It's also great for allergies!
