The powerful ingredients in this remedy are common everyday items:
ginger, cayenne, cider vinegar and honey. Yet they work together to
create a potent remedy for cold symptoms. It's definitely worth trying before turning to the medicine cabinet once again this winter.
The serving size (or dosage) will vary depending on the person. My 9
year old son was able to drink 1-2 teaspoons without a problem. A full
tablespoon worked great for me.
Homemade Cough Remedy
recipe adapted from Good Food Matters
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (preferably Bragg's, if available)
2 tablespoons honey (locally produced raw honey is best, if available)
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Place
all the ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Leave at room
temperature for a few days or place in the refrigerator for longer
storage. Shake well each time, before using. The spices will not
dissolve into the liquid. It will not be a thick syrup, it should remain
watery. Take as needed and have a happy and healthy new year!
