Step 3: Add the Honey
Pour raw honey over the ingredients until they’re completely covered. Use a spoon to gently press them down and release any air bubbles.
Step 4: Let It Infuse
Cover the jar tightly with a lid and let it sit:
- At room temperature for 8–12 hours (or overnight).
- You’ll notice the honey becoming thinner as it mixes with the juices from the onion and garlic — that’s your syrup forming!
For a stronger remedy, let it infuse for 24 hours before straining.
Step 5: Strain and Store
After infusing, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle.
Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
How to Use It
- Adults: Take 1 tablespoon every few hours as needed to relieve cough or sore throat.
- Children over 1 year old: Give 1 teaspoon (never give honey to infants under 1 year).
You can take it on its own, or stir it into warm tea or lemon water.
Tips and Variations
- Add a few slices of fresh turmeric for an extra anti-inflammatory boost.
- For a spicy kick, mix in a pinch of black pepper — it helps the body absorb ginger’s active compounds.
- To soothe nighttime coughs, take a spoonful just before bed.
