Honey lemon and glycerineDoes 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 
Or any other remedies? Three weeks now with endless coughing

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. from here http://www.make-stuff.com/formulas/cough_cold.html |
