A great recipe for winter comfort! Here is the simple recipe for Homemade Honey, Thieves Honey & Lemon Cough Drops: 1 cup honey, brought to 300* using a candy thermometer as instructed. It took about 20 minutes for mine to reach 300 degrees. Stir often and start on med low heat. Then turn to low to prevent boiling over. It will keep boiling (adjust temperature as needed). ***BE CAREFUL, the honey can burn easily!!! So, you do not want to boil it at too high of a temperature. Also, I added a teaspoon of butter to keep the foaming down. Allow to cool for a several minutes, until it starts to thicken. You can add just 10 drops of Thieves. Or I wanted a Honey Lemon flavor, so here is what I did: I started with 7 drops of Thieves, 3 drops of Lemon and 2 drops of Eucalyptus Globulus. After I mixed it all together and tasted it (be careful it will be hot! I placed a drop on a piece of parchment paper over some ice to cool it quickly, then tasted it). I added more. Add more or less oils to your taste, but here is what I finally ended up with: 11 drops of Thieves, 7 drops of Lemon and 3 drops of Eucalyptus Globulus. I really liked that combo, it wasn’t too strong, but I could taste all the flavors of the oils. After they sit for a few days/weeks I may decide they need more or less, but right now, I liked it! :) Drop onto a sheet of Parchment paper to the size that look like that of a cough drop. Or, I found these silicone molds on Ebay that were the perfect shape for what I was wanting to do! They worked out well by filling the molds up and they just popped out with ease and are perfectly shaped! Let cool until hard, pop out of the mold and than wrap up in parchement paper. DO NOT use wax paper or your cough drops will stick onto the wax paper! Keep them in a container in the medicine cabinet. *I only recommend using Young Living Therapeutic Grade (YLTG) Essential Oils in this recipe, since they are pure enough to be ingested, and lower quality oils may be toxic.
