MA'S COUGH SYRUP

Steps:

• In a pan heat the molasses, vinegar, and butter.
• Pour into a special mug for your child.
• Stick a plastic spoon in it and all you have to do when you want it reheated is to put it in the microwave for only a VERY SHORT time and it will be hot and ready for another dose.
• At night, put a heating pad on LOW with a facecloth on top of it and set the cup on it so that it will be warm when needed during the night--(try this during the day so you will know if it is the right temperature to leave on at night).
• If you have a couple of kids with a cough, make them each one of their own.

NATURAL COUGH SYRUP

HOMEMADE COUGH SYRUP

Steps:

• Pour water and apple cider vinegar to heat into a saucepan. Then add honey and stir until honey is dissolved. Add ginger and cayenne pepper to the mixture.
• Simmer over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Allow the liquid to cool, then pour it into a glass jar for storage in a refrigerator.
• To relieve cough, take 1 tablespoon two times a day, or as needed.
• NOTE: Always adjust the dosage according to the age of the person and the severity of the cough. And because there is honey involved, this would not be a cough syrup for babies, infants or very young children.
