home remedies

I'm always looking for ways to help my family. Whether it be coupons at the grocery store, or staying up late to finish those cupcakes, no matter how big or small, I like to do it. I think that prepping has so many different meanings and one for me is helping my family. I recently told my sister about the plans my family has made to prepare for "the end of the world as we know it" and though it isn't her cup of tea, she has given me her support. She and I are both sick right now (the nasty cold/cough/exploding head/runny nose yuck) and she came across a recipe for a homemade cough syrup. I jumped at it! It's made with all natural (as in from nature) ingredients. I don't have a cough yet, but if it starts, I'm gonna make this! She's been drinking it and swears it works, so I thought i'd share it with you.

Home Cough Syrup

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 Cup honey
1/4 cup warm water

Mix all ingredients together and take 1 tsp as needed.

She needed 1 tsp every 2 hours. The great thing here is, all these things are yummy so I wouldn't mind taking some every couple of hours! My favorite part is I don't have to worry about what I'm putting in my mouth or my kids mouth. I LOVE it and hope you do too!
