Syrup for Colds and Coughs

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Simmer 1 pint of honey in 1 quart of the decoction over low heat for 1 hour.

  2. Stir occasionally until well combined.

  3. Let cool before storing in a sealed container.
