honey
Thyme (or garlic) honey
Herb steeped in honey. Spoon for a cough, or into hot water for a sore throat.
Overnight, better in a week · 1 cup
- Loosely fill a half-pint with chopped fresh thyme, or 4–5 crushed garlic cloves (wait 10 minutes after crushing).
- Cover with raw honey. Stir out air pockets. Lid.
- A day on the counter, then a cool shelf. Garlic honey may fizz a little — burp the lid. Use within a month, or fridge.
- Dose
- 1 tsp as needed for an adult cough. Child over 1: 1/2 tsp. In a mug of hot water for a throat.
- Store
- Cool. Garlic honey is the shorter keeper.
No honey under age one. Garlic honey is strong — not a jar you give by the tablespoon for fun.
