Cat litter warnings

Posted 2014-08-23 by Fiona Davyfollow
During winter, children are especially susceptible to coughs and colds, so this year we decided to make our own immune boosting cough syrup to keep bugs at bay and speed up our recovery time. For this particular recipe, I included the herb Astragalus (also known as Huang Qi), which is commonly available from Chinese herbal shops, but may be difficult to source otherwise.

Our home made cough syrup


Ingredients:

1 kg sugar
1 liter filtered water
1 lemon
6 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon fresh turmeric root
8 drops peppermint essential oil
5 sticks astragalus (optional)

Ingredients for DIY cough syrup


Method:

  • Boil the filtered water, then add the sugar, thyme leaves, lemon juice, ginger root, turmeric root and astragalus.

  • Simmer the ingredients


  • Simmer the ingredients for an hour, then add the peppermint essential oil.

  • A therapeutic treat


  • Allow the mixture to cool, pour it into sterile bottles, and keep your home made cough syrup in the fridge. Administer 30 mls twice daily until the cough disappears.
