This is a good remedy for cough in adults. Apple cider vinegar has anti-bacterial and detoxifying properties. Honey coats the throat providing soothing relief to irritated and sore throats, and the cayenne pepper opens up congested nasal passages and relieves pain. I also add lemon juice for flavor and Vitamin C. Note: the taste is a little spicy but good and what it is better, it really works!. Ingredients:
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons water |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Pour water and apple cider vinegar to heat into a saucepan. Then add honey and stir until honey is dissolved. Add ginger and cayenne pepper to the mixture.
2. Simmer over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Allow the liquid to cool, then pour it into a glass jar for storage in a refrigerator.
4. To relieve cough, take 1 tablespoon two times a day, or as needed.
5. NOTE: Always adjust the dosage according to the age of the person and the severity of the cough. And because there is honey involved, this would not be a cough syrup for babies, infants or very young children.
