Auntie's Homemade Cough Syrup - Family Recipe

This weather is really getting me down.  My husband has to work outside and he has suddenly started coughing and sneezing.  I am scared he is getting a cold, the only way he could be more miserable having to work in this weather.

Time to make some Auntie's! 

Auntie's is the homemade cough syrup that my Mom made for us when we were kids.  I have no idea why she called it Auntie's, I wish I would have asked her when she was still with us, now I will never know. 

However, what I do know is that it does a good job of soothing sore throats and coughs.   It's also easy to make, check it out:

Ingredients

• ¾ cup raw organic honey
• ¼ cup olive oil, I have also used coconut oil
  
• Juice from 3 lemons
  

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a small sauce pan and heat on medium until steaming
   
2. Remove from heat and cool for 20 minutes
   
3.  Place in a jar with a tight screw on lid
   
4. Stores unrefrigerated but you can refrigerate it
   

Stir before using and if refrigerated, heat it before using.  There is no maximum you can use since it is all natural, take as much as you wish.  I usually start using it the minute coughing starts to be a problem, no matter what the cause.  I use it for my allergies as well as colds and flu. 

Have a great weekend!
