Discover the Magic of Homemade Cough Syrup: Lemon, Ginger, and Honey

  • Juice two large lemons.
  • Peel and grate a piece of ginger root (about two inches long).
  • Measure out about half a cup of honey, preferably organic or raw for maximum benefits.
  • Simmer the Ginger:
    • In a small saucepan, add the grated ginger to one cup of water.
    • Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes. This process extracts the active compounds from the ginger.
  • Strain and Mix:
    • After simmering, strain the ginger pieces from the water, squeezing them to get all the ginger juice out.
    • While the ginger water is still warm (not hot), stir in the honey until it dissolves completely.
    • Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mixture.
  • Bottle It Up:
    • Transfer the syrup into a clean jar with a lid. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. The syrup can be kept for up to two weeks.
