Basil Cough Syrup Recipe

This is a favorite, must-have recipe that my mom still uses to provide comfort for coughs brought on by colds and flu. This is an easy recipe to keep on the shelf.

Ingredients

• Heaping handful of fresh basil (or dried basil from your local store can substitute)
• Jar organic honey (feel free to use what is in the store; the properties will still be present for healing)

Directions

1. Fill a pint mason jar with the herbs.
2. Pour in the honey until it fills the jar.
3. Let it set in a cool, dark space in your cabinet for 2 to 3 weeks.
4. Use for coughs as they appear.
