Notes
- Take every 2 hours. For best results, take 1 teaspoon of this onion honey cough syrup every 2 hours as needed.
- Skip the garlic. This recipe can be made with only onions and honey if you prefer.
- Storing: Store this honey onion syrup in the refrigerator. When strained, this will last up to 3 months. If the onions and garlic or added on top, it will last 1 week.
- Ratio of onion and garlic. Stick with the golden ratio of even cups of onions and honey.
- White or yellow onions. It's best to use yellow or white onions which have a milder flavor compared to red onions. When made with red onions the flavor can be a bit overpowering. Yellow or white onions provide a nice balance of sweetness and mildness when combined with honey for a soothing cough remedy.
