Honey Lemon Cough Syrup

by

This natural Honey Lemon Cough Syrup is a simple, effective home remedy that uses whole-food ingredients to soothe a sore throat and quiet a cough.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raw Honey: Acts as a natural cough suppressant and provides a thick, soothing base.

  • 1/2 cup Fresh Lemon Juice: High in Vitamin C and helps cut through mucus.

  • 1 Fresh Lemon: Sliced into thin rounds (seeds removed) to infuse the syrup with extra zest and oils.

  • Optional: 1 inch of fresh ginger, sliced (for added anti-inflammatory benefits).

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a small saucepan, combine the raw honey and lemon juice over very low heat.

  2. Infuse: Add the fresh lemon slices (and ginger if using) to the mixture.

  3. Warm Gently: Heat for 5–10 minutes, ensuring the mixture does not reach a boil. This keeps the beneficial properties of the raw honey intact.

  4. Store: Pour the syrup into a clean glass jar. Allow it to cool completely before sealing.

  5. Use: Take 1–2 tablespoons as needed to soothe a cough or stir it into a cup of warm water or herbal tea.
