Mom’s Cough Syrup

• Whisk together equal parts of:
• glycerin
• fresh squeezed lemon juice
• honey

Mom would give us a tablespoon of this when we had bad coughs as children. I know she would sometimes add a drip of whiskey to the batch, too. I never have, but some people say the brandy helps.

I have made this for years at the start of the coughing season. I leave it in the refrigerator in squeeze bottles for each child! When they are coughing hard they go take a squirt from the bottle with their name on it. Of course my children are old enough to know how much to use! I do not suggest doing this for a 3-year old!!! The only side effect of an “over dose” is diarrhea from too much glycerin.
