Honey Onion Syrup for

cough and sore throat

At first I thought this recipe sounded weird, but it turned out to be easy, inexpensive, effective and safe. There is no oniony strong taste if you use good onions and honey...and a bit of lemon juice.

Ingredients

• 2 medium organic onions
• organic honey (the darker the better, we use Aseda Wild Honey*)
• Organic lemon

Instructions

• Peel the onions and slice into thin rings.
• Add enough organic honey to cover the onions.
• Cover and allow the sweetened onion to remain in the bowl on your counter for about 12-15 hours or overnight. 
• The next day, there will be about a cup or more of sweet syrup in the bowl. 
• Keep refrigerated. Can last up to a month.

This cough syrup contains a range of vitamins, nutrients and minerals - and the combination of the onion and the honey help fight infection, soothe sore throats and quiet a cough. 

A spoonful once every hour is not too much.
