Home Remedy: Cough Syrup

I got this recipe for homemade non-drug cough syrup from a friend out in Western MA a couple years ago. She, in turn, got it from her friend. Its provenance before that, I do not know.

After recommending this to a friend, I realized I should at least try it. So I just did a few minutes ago. I don't have a cough, so I can't tell how good it is for that, but my sinuses are a little clearer since taking it. At least I now know how it tastes: sort of like buffalo wings, but with ginger too. Or like General Tso's chicken.

COUGH/SORE THROAT SYRUP

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 TBSP honey
1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP water (heated)

Add all ingredients in a jar and shake well. Take 1 teaspoon of the syrup as needed.
