How to make your own cough syrup with only three ingredients

Ingredients

• 3 onions thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup honey (preferably Manuka)
• 2 thumb-sized pieces of ginger root

Instructions

1. Place sliced onion on a plate.
2. Grate ginger over-top of the onion.
3. Drizzle 1/2 cup honey evenly over the onion and ginger.
4. Place in fridge for 4 hours – enough to allow the honey to extract the active ingredients from the onion and ginger.
5. Pour the syrup into a glass jar with a tight lid in a dark cabinet, or refrigerator, for up to a few weeks.

Adult dose: 1 tablespoon every 4 hours for anyone over the age of 10.

Child dose: 1 teaspoon every 4 hours. Honey is not recommended for children under 1 year old.
