Honey Lemon Cure-All
We've had some kind of cold going around the family and my kids have been going through this stuff like crazy. It's very simply lemons and raw honey. This particular large mason jar holds three sliced lemons and 16 ounces of honey. We keep it in the refrigerator and use it like a tea. Just place a couple slices of the honey marinated lemon in a mug along with 1 or 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Pour hot water in the mug and stir to mix. It tastes like hot lemonade and works great for coughs, congestion, and sore throats. The kids have been drinking it in the morning with breakfast and it really does the trick. Here's a little factoid for you; both lemon and honey have anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, which is why this stuff works so well. I love that this elixir is 100% all natural. (As this uses raw honey, do not give this to children younger than 2 as recommended by pediatricians)
