Tis the season, cough, cough, hack, hack. If only there was an all natural cough syrup that actually worked.
This recipe is adapted from one of my favorite food bloggers, The View from Great Island, who writes wonderful content.
It's soothing, refreshing, and the enzymes from the pineapple, the healing properties of ginger and the calming effects of honey will help chase away that nasty cough. And did I mention that it actually tastes good, unlike the chemical laden cough syrups we buy from the pharmacy.
* 4 cups, approximately 4 slices, of fresh pineapple, peel removed, but core intact.
* 2 Tbsp honey
* 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, you can omit this but it gives it extra zip
* a thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
* juice of 2 lemons
Blend all ingredients in your blender and store in the refrigerator. It keeps for up to two weeks, just use as needed.
Feel better soon ~ Jan
