Homemade cough syrup-easy

A very effective and easy way to make homemade cough syrup is as follows. Cut up one onion and place into a bowl. Pour honey to cover. Let set at least 12 hours. Strain into a container with a lid. Use a teaspoon or two when needed. Children will take this just fine. Just don't tell them there is onion in it. I just say here is some honey cough syrup and it works great.

How long can this keep? Do you have to refrigerate it?

I do not refrigerate mine. Honey is a good keeper. I would just watch it and if it developes mold I would throw it away.
