Cough Remedy

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

A while back I saw a remedy for coughs using honey and lemon juice. It did not include horehound. We used it and I liked it because my kids took it very easily. I have looked thru the mags I have but unfortunately can't find it! Does anyone have the remedy or know which issue it was in? It wasn't all that long ago and I can't imagine what I did with the mag. I'd appreciate any answers. Thanks!

I just make hot tea, then sweeten it with honey and add lemon juice. It does make a difference on easing a sore throat and for coughs.

stay away from dairy for a little while, too.

Incidentally.... if you use tea like Liptons (any black tea or orange pekoe) the tannins will help settle stomach problems, too. That (with a little brandy, of course) is hot toddy.
