Honey and Lemon Cough Syrup

A new Twist on the Old Honey and Lemon Mom used to make. My mom always gave me honey and lemon tea when I had a cold. Here's a recipe for Honey and Lemon cough syrup. To make it even better, My little one LOVES it!

Take ½ teaspoon (children up to 25 lb). 1 teaspoon(children 25- 50 lb) 4 times a day or as often as needed. Adults can take 1 tablespoon as often as needed.

Put a pint of honey in a pan on the stove on low heat (Do not boil honey as this changes its medicinal properties) .

Take a whole lemon and boil in some water in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes to both soften the lemon and kill any bacteria that may be on the lemon skin. Let the lemon cool enough to handle then cut it in slices and add it to the pint of honey on the stove. Let mixture cook on warm heat for about an hour. Then strain the lemon from the honey making sure all lemon seeds are removed. Let cool, then bottle in a jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator. This syrup will keep for 2 months in the refrigerator.
