My cousin Debbie just messaged me and asked if I could share her home brewed "Cough Remedy"? She says she makes this every year and it always helps when the kids get those nasty winter coughs. So yes Deb, I will share it. In fact, I made it too.
So here is Debbie’s "Home Cough Remedy"
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 tablespoons water
Combine all in a small jar and shake to combine. The spices will NOT dissolve, so shake before each use. Can be used immediately or stored in refrigerator for up to 2 months. So easy to make and store. Plus you probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry.
Thanks Cuz!!!!!

Makes me almost want to get cough and cold.
How much are you supposed to take at a time?
usually 1 tablespoon will do it Dani
For users outside the US that would be:
Ingredients:
50 ml honey
50 ml apple cider vinegar
2 ml cayenne pepper
2 ml ground ginger
50 ml water
Thanks for the conversion chart James.
I had this cough for over 3 weeks and I had tried EVERYTHING and so I was desperate to try anything so I made this and I slept ALL night for the first time in weeks! This worked for me! Thank you!
I am so happy it helped you.
You said to use a tablespoon, but how many times a day do you recommend using it?
I usually do it 2 or 3 times a day depending on severity of cough
