Here is a great recipe for a natural and effective cough syrup. This is non-toxic and excellent for that disturbing cough that keeps your kids up at night. Obviously, do not use this on children under the age of 1 where honey is not indicated.
Ingredients
- 1 large brown onion, peeled and thinly sliced.
- Honey, preferably Manuka honey (this is made from tea-tree flowers)
- 1 glass jar slightly larger than the onion with a lid.
Instructions
- Place the sliced and peeled onion into the glass jar, tightly packed.
- Cover with honey and close lid.
- Let sit overnight. The onions will become dry as the honey extracts the onion juices out.
- Remove the onion left-overs.
- Keep refrigerated. Take as needed for cough.
Typical dose is 1 tablespoon for children under 6 and 2 tablespoons for 6 years and older.
I'm all for natural remedies,... but wouldn't this taste awful?
