homemade onion, honey, garlic + herb cough syrup 🍯🧄🌿

A natural remedy to soothe your throat and boost immunity. When made with care, this syrup is toddler-friendly*

Gather:
🧅 1 medium onion (sliced)
🧄 A few cloves of garlic (optional for toddlers)
🪴 A few sprigs each of sage, oregano, rosemary or any other immune boosting herbs (I’m using sage and oregano today)
🍯 Raw honey - enough to cover the ingredients (any honey is good, local honey is better)

How-to:
• Slice the onion and garlic, and crush the herbs.
• Layer the ingredients in a clean jar, adding honey to cover each layer.
• Seal the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
• Strain the mixture into a clean container and discard the solids.
• Store the syrup in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze in small portions for up to 3 months. Freeze in ice cube trays for easy single servings!

How to Use:
• Take 1-3 times a day or as needed every few hours.
• For toddlers* (over 1 year old), start with a smaller dose (1/4 to 1/2 tsp) and consult your pediatrician first if unsure!
