Homemade Winter Cough Syrup
Unlike OTC cough syrups that are filled with dyes, artificial sweeteners, and tons of preservatives and fillers...this is a clean version with immune boosting and antioxidant rich ingredients.
Takes 5 minutes to prep and works way better than anything in the store and it’s 100% natural.
What You’ll Need
1/2 cup water
1 cup honey
Chopped ginger root (peeled or unpeeled)
2 whole lemons with rind
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
Dash of cayenne pepper
Instructions
Add the water and honey to your jar
Add lemons and your spices.
Put on the lid and flip the jar upside down to let the honey infuse with all the ingredients.
Note: Keep the jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, shaking well before each use or freeze into ice cubes for hot tea
