If you’re looking for a natural way to alleviate your cough or cold symptoms, give this Honey Onion Cough Syrup a try! This at-home cough remedy is easy to mix up with just three simple ingredients!
Prepare the onions and garlic. Onions should be peeled, sliced and cut in half. Garlic should be thinly sliced.
In a small saucepan, combine the onions, garlic and honey and stir until well coated.
Cook on low temperature for 1 hour, or until onion and garlic are softened and fragrant. Stir every 20 minutes.
Use a fine mesh strainer to remove onion and garlic from honey and transfer into air tight jars.
Allow to cool to room temperature before placing an air tight lid on top.
Notes
Use an even ratio: Be sure to stick with an even ration of cups of onions to cups of honey. Mine was 3:3.
Cool completely: Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before placing the lids on the jars.
Store in the refrigerator: The cough syrup can be stored with the onions and garlic in the refrigerator for one week or with the onions and garlic strained out for up to three months.
