Hyssop Cough Syrup

Hyssop has been used as a medicinal herb for centuries. It is excellent for all types of coughs and this syrup is simple to make.

It can be taken by the spoonful, but I find a far more effective method is to combine the dosage with a cup of hot water and sipping it as a tea.

Ingredients

1 cup hyssop flowers (Hyssopus officinalis)

1 cup boiling water

1 cup honey

Instructions

  • Combine the hyssop and boiling water, cover and leave to steep for 30 minutes.

  • Strain and discard the herb

  • Combine the liquid with the honey and stir well

  • Pour into a glass bottle, seal and label
