Grandpa's cough syrup(or not)

Grandpa's cough syrup(or not)


I will say give this one a try.  It is soothing, sweet, really does the trick and please for children over 1 year.  

INGREDIENTS

zest of 2 lemons (approx. 1 1/2 T)

1/4 cup ginger peeled, sliced, or 1/2 tsp. of ground ginger

1 cup water

1 cup honey

1/2 cup lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

In a small saucepan, combine lemon zest, sliced ginger and 1 cup of water. Bring mixture to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then strain through into a heat-proof measuring cup.

Rinse the saucepan out and pour in 1 cup of honey. On low heat, warm the honey, but do not allow it to boil. Add the strained lemon ginger water and the lemon juice. Stir the mixture until it combines to form a thick syrup.

Pour into a clean jar with a lid.

Note: This can be refrigerated for up to 2 months.

For children ages 1 to 5, use 1/2 to 1 tsp. every 2 hours. For children ages 5 to 12, use 1 to 2 tsp. every 2 hours. For children 12 and older and adults, use 1 to 2 T every 4 hours.*
