Grandma's Homemade Cough Syrup

I thought I would start my blog with a recipe from my Grandmother. It just seemed to be the right thing to do.

Homemade Cough Syrup for Croup

1 c. honey
1/2 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. whiskey

Combine the indgredients and bring to a boil over meduim heat. Boil about 20 to 30 minutes or until it becomes a syrup. Take 1 tsp. every 10 minutes until cough stops.

Folks this really does work. I have used it over the years with my children and myself. Yes I know it has alcohol in it but that boils away.

When ever my kids would come down with runny noses and cough grandma would always tell me you better get some syrup made.

I miss my grandma she was a special lady she passed away in 2001 four days after my significant other passed away. It was a hard year that year.

I will be sharing more of her recipes. I am a sentimental person and really hate to loose the past remedies that our grandparents grew up with and used.
