"El-Cheapo" Homemade Cough Syrup

Sandra Keros

Sometimes a sore throat can really drag you down. What to do? This amazing, simple kitchen remedy is here to the rescue. It's "el cheapo" - one of my mom's favorite sayings - since you most likely already have the ingredients on hand. The recipe is so simple that it practically makes itself:

"El-Cheapo" Homemade Cough Syrup

1) Slice layers of an onion or turnip into a water glass or mug
2) Pour about 1/4 - 1/2 C of honey*, cover, and let sit overnight
3) Sip liquid as needed throughout the day as a cough syrup

Try it? Let me know how it goes!

* Raw honey is preferred since it has antimicrobial enzymes intact that would otherwise get killed off in heat processing that normally happens with common honey.
