Isaac has been coughing quite a bit the last 24 hours and while I LOVE Honey Elixir I figured Homemade Cough Syrup had to be cheaper and easier. When I say easier I’ve pretty much got a house full of basic natural ingredients {read honey and coconut oil} that I seem to need in everything nowadays so it’s easier than a quick to the drugstore sometimes! Anyway, 5 minutes later while making breakfast I also made this Homemade Cough syrup for it.

Homemade Cough Syrup Ingredients and Directions

In a small pan heat up the following ingredients on low heat:

3 TBS lemon juice (I used the juice of half a lemon)

1/4 cup of honey

2 TBS coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

Store in a small container or mason jar for up to a month in the fridge.

When you need it take it out and shake as the coconut oil rises to the top.

Give your child about 1 teaspoon.
