HOMEMADE COUGH DROPS

You’ll need just a couple of homemade ingredients.

  You can nook the recipe: A modified versions of the original recipe maybe more child friendly for kids.  For example, instead of plain sugar, I used mint sugar. Instead of plain honey, I used a lemon-ginger infused honey. You can add essential oils as flavoring like "Thieves," by Young Living i.e. So, here’s the ratio or, and a new recipe:

4 Tablespoons coconut oil

1/2 cup lemon-ginger honey

3/4 cup mint sugar

Prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly greased with coconut oil.

Over low heat, simply melt the oil and sugar and honey together over low heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and boil until it’s at a hardball stage, about 250°.

Pour the mixture carefully into the loaf pan and allow to cool just long enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

It may still be hot in some places, so take care cutting it. Using a sharp knife, cut into 32 equal pieces. You can wrap them in wax or plastic paper if you desire, but I found that I didn’t need to, as my family needed these NOW and there wasn’t much of a risk of them sticking together. You could also carefully dust the pieces with cornstarch to keep them separate, although that may change the taste of the drop itself in the beginning.
