I found this recipe for cough syrup posted by Bonnie K. McMillen, R.N, B.S.N., College Health Nurse, University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. It certainly can't hurt and reviews seem to confirm it works. Ingredients are all common and most likely in the cupboard. **This is not recommended for young children, as it is too strong in taste and honey is not safe for children under one year unless pasteurized or boiled for 5 minutes.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water

Directions

1
Mix all together.
2
Adults take 3 teaspoons as needed.

This is what my mom makes, though she makes me down the whole thing at once. It will beat your cough into submission. Please note that this is most effective for a dry cough
