Slippery Elm Cough Syrups

RECIPE #1:

In a saucepan, mix 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp.) Slippery Elm powder or Slippery Elm small

chunks with 1 cup raw honey or organic light unsulphured molasses. Simmer and

stir gently for 70 minutes. That's it!

 

If you want it thinner, feel free to add a little water. If you started with

powder it will be a thicker brew as you do not (cannot) strain it out. If you

started with the herbal chunks, you will get a juicier brew as the chunks are

strained out after simmering. Some people really like having the herb powder

left in for extra potency, while others don't like the texture and so prefer to

strain the herb out. It's your choice. This recipe is meant as a basic starting

place. I encourage you to experiment freely with proportions to suit your needs.

 

RECIPE #2:

Use basic Recipe #1 but substitute an additional herb such as chopped raw Onion

(yummy), Comfney, Ginger, Clove or another herb of your choosing for part of the

Slippery Elm. If you are flexible about the flavor, you can really have fun

experimenting with your mixtures.

 

RECIPE #3:

To any finished syrup add a few drops of an essential oil to supplement healing

action and taste. Peppermint oil is refreshing when added to Recipe #1. Clove

oil would be a fine choice for its antiseptic and pain-numbing qualities.

 

DOSAGE: For children up to about six years, most syrups should be taken 1 tsp.

at a time every two hours or as needed. For older children or adults, up to 1

Tbsp. per dose is not uncommon. Take as needed.
