Delicious & Soothing – Thyme, Lemon & Honey Syrup
This is a very soothing blend for sore throats, moistening for the airways & so helpful with coughs but also with excellent antiviral & antimicrobial properties from the Thyme & Lemon – as well as being absolutely delicious!
Thyme (Thymus CT Linalool)
Ingredients
- handful of fresh Thyme sprigs
- 1 pint of water
- ½ pint honey (raw is best, but runny is ok)
- ½ lemon chopped into slices
Directions
- Place lemon slices in a pint jar & cover with honey – it will macerate the lemons & draw out liquids
- Place the Thyme leaves into a saucepan & cover them with the water.
- Bring to a gentle simmer & reduce it to half, about a cup or ½ pint.
- Cool, strain off the leaves, add it into the pint jar & stir well.
- Shake occasionally & use a spoonful as needed.
