The formulation of this Cough Syrup is not to stimulate the immune system, but rather support it with Vitamin C & Nutrient rich Organic Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 4 Tbsp Coltsfoot
- 1/2 cup Hibiscus
- 4 Tbsp Goldenrod
- 1 Tbsp Licorice root ground
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp thyme fresh
- 2 Tbsp rosemary fresh
- 1 tsp Barberry fruit fresh or dried
- 1/3 cup Rosehips seedless, dried
- 1 cup black currants frozen
- 1/4 cup black currants dried
- 2/3 cup sea buckthorn berries frozen
- 1 cup Honey Raw, Organic & local.
-
In a pot bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add coltsfoot, hibiscus, goldenseal, and ground licorice. cover. set aside and let cool down slowly. You can actually make it ahead of time and let it steep for 3-6 hours so that the infusion is more potent.
-
While that is brewing, start on the part 2.
-
I add 1 c of water in my Nutribullet and added the rest of the Part 2 ingredients. Blend until very smooth, but don't overheat.
-
If it is too thick, use the last cup of water to rinse the blender and get every last bit of it out.
You should have 4 cups total for the whole recipe. but use just enough to make it a syrup consistency and not too thin.
-
when the tea is ready and cooled - strain it, mix in the honey and the blended ingredients. Mix well.
-
I stored some in the fridge, the rest in the freezer.
This batch lasted us for two winter months.
How To Use:
- 1 Tbsp - twice a day while sick.
- as preventative 1 T every 1-3 days.
If you don't have some of the ingredients I used - it's OK. Just choose other available to you from the list of Vitamin C rich foods below:
- blueberries
- cranberries
- strawberries
- lemon & orange juice(you can use the juice instead of water in Part 2)
- Ginger
- Turmeric
- Guavas
- Kiwi
- parsley
- saffron
- chervil
- Acerola (Malpighia glabra)
- Amla (Phyllanthus emblica)
Herbs that are good for a cough:
