Cough Lozenges Recipes

HOMEMADE HONEY LEMON COUGH DROPS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a small pot.
• Heat the pot slightly over medium heat and melt the ingredients together.
• The honey mixture will start to bubble, remove from heat and whisk until bubbles/foam recedes slightly. Replace on heat.
• Do this for 2.5-3 minutes, whisking every 15 seconds or so. You want the mixture to get HOT but not to outright burn.
• The mixture will start to change color (dark honey color).
• After three minutes-ish, pour the mixture into silicone molds but do not fill them all the way. You want the drops to be very small and thin.
• Let cool on the counter for twenty minutes then place in the freezer to set.
• Pop the disks out when you need them. They are chilled and soothing but they're also sticky once melted (almond-like a taffy) so try not to chew them too much!
• Makes 8 drops depending on mold.
