Does anyone please know the quantities for making a soothing cough remedy?

My grandfather used to make us one made with honey, lemons, glycerine (the vegetable one) and hot water. I've been trying but with not much success. Think I've added too much water.

He also made one with onions and garlic, but I wouldn't like to be swigging too much of that before going to work Shocked

Or any other remedies? Three weeks now with endless coughing Confused

Here you go.

Simple Cough Syrup

* 3 tbsp lemon juice
* 1 cup honey
* 1/4 cup warm water

Combine lemon juice and honey in a bowl. Slowly stir in the water. Store in a covered jar in the refrigerator - take 1-2 tbsp as needed for cough.
