Description
This homemade cough syrup recipe is amazing for easing coughs and cold symptoms and boosting your immune system.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or fresh lemon juice or fresh pineapple juice)
- 1 tbsp ginger juice (optional)
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Tools & Supplies
- Bowl
- Measuring cup and spoons
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Grater (if using ginger)
- Cheesecloth or nut milk bag (if using ginger)
- Sanitized jar
Instructions
- If using ginger, peel root and then grate with a cheese grater. Squeeze shredded ginger through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag, reserving the juice and throwing away the pulp. This sounds time consuming, but you’ll be amazed at how much juice you can extract from a small amount of ginger!
- Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. If you’re making the full batch and will be storing it in the fridge, use apple cider vinegar, as the pineapple and lemon juices will oxidize after a day or two and not be as effective. If making enough for one day, you can use the lemon and pineapple.
- Scoop into jar and store in fridge.
