By nnlester

Here’s a super immune boosting homemade cough and cold syrup that will help shorten the duration and alleviate the symptoms of a cold or cough.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons raw honey
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients until well mixed. (Do not heat your honey. Heating destroys the beneficial enzymes. If you must heat your honey, do so at the lowest temperature possible)

Take 1-2 teaspoons, 3 to 5 times a day at the first sign of a cold or cough.

Honey should not be given to infants under 1 year old due to the risk of botulism.

This will keep on the counter for a few days or in the fridge for a few weeks. Place jar in a sauce pan of heated warm water to melt the coconut oil.
