DIY Kitchen Medicinals Cough Syrup
I'm so excited to share this recipe for an easy DIY herbal medicine that we could all use this time of year. This homemade cough syrup is a staple for so many herbalists and naturopathic doctors because it works and is incredibly easy to make. Made from ginger, garlic and turmeric this sweet remedy is anti-viral, immune-boosting and helps to soothe a sore throat.
Ingredients
- 1 - 2 cups runny raw local honey (enough to cover your garlic, turmeric and ginger in a mason jar)
- 8 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 inches raw ginger root, peeled and chopped into medium sized pieces
- 1 inch raw turmeric, peeled and roughly chopped.
Instructions
Fill a mason jar with your garlic, turmeric and ginger and cover with liquid honey. Leave the jar out on the counter for 2 - 3 days to allow the mixture to infuse, then move to the fridge where it can keep for up to 1 month. Take 1 tsp of the honey mixture every few hours at the first sign of a sore throat, or take 1 tsp daily as prevention.
Warning: do not give raw honey to babies <1 years old.
