Homemade cough syrup


I make a very effective and soothing cough syrup at home.

1 large onion (diced fine)

Place onion in a jar ( I use an old pickle jar with a lid)

Pour honey over onion until covered.

Shake jar. At first the mixture is very thick. In no time at all it thins out as the onion juice dilutes the honey. The recipe said to filter out the onion the next day but I never do. I even used this for Sammy last year when he had a cough. He didn't mind the onions at all. They don't taste like onion after while anyway.
