Honey-Ginger-Turmeric Cough Drops (DIY Wellness Remedy)

Instructions:

  1. Combine in a small saucepan:
    • ½ cup raw honey
    • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
    • ½ tsp turmeric powder
    • A small pinch of black pepper (to activate turmeric’s benefits)
  2. Simmer gently on low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and darkens slightly (about 15–20 minutes).
  3. Test the texture by dropping a little into cold water — if it hardens, it’s ready.
  4. Pour small drops onto parchment paper or into silicone molds.
  5. Cool completely until solid, then store in an airtight jar at room temperature.

Shelf life:
Up to 3 months in a cool, dry place.
