Honey thyme cough syrup
A reader sent this recipe to me after finding that it helps her husband’s persistent cough. He had been using over-the-counter cough syrups and lozenges but found this syrup eliminated his cough very quickly.
1 cup water
2 tbsp fresh thyme
½ cup raw unpasteurised honey
In a small saucepan bring the water to the boil. Remove from the heat, then add the thyme and cover with a lid to steep. Leave for 20 minutes or longer. Strain the liquid then whisk in the honey until combined. Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 months.
