Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 1 cup honey
Instructions
- Slice a whole red onion into thin layers.
- Place the onion in a deep and wide bowl. You want to have as much of the onion exposed to be able to cover as much of it with honey as possible.
- Pour the honey over the red onion.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Let it sit for about 2 hours.
- After about two hours, you will notice a watery syrup at the bottom of the bowl.
- Give your kids one teaspoon of the syrup every 2-4 hours, like you would a cold and cough syrup. For adults, take a tablespoon every 2-4 hours.
- Continue to use until the symptoms (cold, sore throat, cough) subside.
- Transfer the whole mixture, onions and all, to a glass jar or other container with a tight lid so it can keep longer. Discard at first sight of spoilage.
Notes
- Honey should never be given to children under the age of one because it could contain botulism spores.
- Please keep in mind, it is always best to consult with your doctor before trying anything, especially with small children.
- The sliced onion will continue to create more syrup while it sits.
- You can leave the onion and honey container on the countertop for up to 3 days or place in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
