Ditch the Chemical cough mixture and head for the kitchen!!! My daughter has been coughing badly all night so I have decided its time to make my homemade cough remedy again. Its very simple to make and very effective as honey is naturally soothing. Homemade herbal cough syrup that soothes the throat and eases coughing and help promote restful sleep. Ingredients 250ml of bottled mineral water ¼ cup Ginger Root (fresh grated or dried) ¼ cup Chamomile Flowers ¼ cup fresh thyme 1 tablespoon Cinnamon ¼ cup lemon juice 1 cup honey Pour the water into a saucepan and add the dried herbs. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half. (you should have about a cup of liquid ) strain to remove herbs .(I use a fine cloth) Leave to cool mix the honey and lemon into the warm liquid. Stir well Store in airtight container in the fridge , it will keep for up to 2 mnths. Can be used as a prevention too, Take a teaspoon a day.
