Onion Syrup Recipe
Always consult your health care practitioner about how much syrup to take, but the general rule of thumb is to take one tablespoon 2-3 times a day.
Servings: 15
Ingredients
- 2 medium onions
- 3 garlic heads
- 1 hand fresh ginger
- 2 cups raw, unfiltered honey
- 1 quart canning jar
Instructions
- Peel and slice the onion in half moon, chop the garlic and ginger or slice it thinly.
- On the bottom of the Mason jar, layer slices of onion, garlic, and ginger about an inch thick.
- Pour honey over the onion until you can't see it anymore from the top, making another layer about a half-inch to an inch deep.
- Then, add another inch-thick layer of onions, garlic, and ginger slices, and then pour the honey to cover. Repeat this process until the jar is almost full, and close the lid tightly.
- Don't remove the onions, garlic, and ginger from the syrup. Just press the mixture back with the spoon when you administer the syrup. Let it infuse for 5 days on the kitchen counter. The syrup keeps for two months in the refrigerator.
- Take 2-3 times daily to soothe a sore throat and wet or congested coughs.
