It seems everyone I know online and in real life has been battling some bug these past few weeks. Most of our crew (myself included) went down with the stomach flu and a few of us had to deal with a cold as well.
Today, I want to share with you a natural home remedy for cough syrup that can be made from items you more than likely already have in your pantry.
Natural Cough Syrup
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp ginger
1 Tbsp honey ( I prefer buckwheat and/or raw)
1 Tbsp vinegar (I prefer apple cider vinegar)
2 Tbsp hot water
Mix all ingredients together in a small cup and sip as needed.
You can also find me at FreeHomeschoolDeals.com today talking about more inexpensive home remedies for the cold season.

Thank you for sharing this! Do your children take it as well?
Amy says
Yes!
Diana says
Fresh ginger, jarred ginger, or dry ginger?
Thanks for the recipe! Merry Christmas!

Fresh ginger would be best, but the others are ok as well. Just use less dry.
