To Stop Coughing
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
Dissolve cayenne and ginger in cider vinegar and water. Add honey and shake. Take a swallow.
Only thing I would do is to add diced WHITE onion with the vinegar & water and cook until onions are very soft. Drain the liquid into a container and then add the rest of the stuff.
Also, the Honeysuckle youtube channel has a great homemade cough/cold syrup that has really worked for me.
