Hi Mary,

 

I basically used a 1:1 ratio with everything. Though, I upped the

echinacea (and added a bit of tincture to the final product) toward

the end when he just wasnt getting healthier. He swore by it and

said if he kept sipping it all day, he could actually swallow. I

just mixed it all up and put it together in a jar and labeled

it " Throat Coat " . He thought I was pretty swell I'll tell you.

 

I also added some lemon balm until I used it up, and lots of lemon to

get rid of all the mucus in him or to at least help. I also ground

the roots up with a coffee grinder.

 

Seeing the " mucilage " left in the tea strainer really made him

believe what I saida bout the herbs being demulcents.

 

Sorry it wasnt an exact recipe!!
