The formulation of this Cough Syrup is not to stimulate the immune system, but rather support it with Vitamin C & Nutrient rich Organic Ingredients
In a pot bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add coltsfoot, hibiscus, goldenseal, and ground licorice. cover. set aside and let cool down slowly. You can actually make it ahead of time and let it steep for 3-6 hours so that the infusion is more potent.
While that is brewing, start on the part 2.
I add 1 c of water in my Nutribullet and added the rest of the Part 2 ingredients. Blend until very smooth, but don't overheat.
If it is too thick, use the last cup of water to rinse the blender and get every last bit of it out.
You should have 4 cups total for the whole recipe. but use just enough to make it a syrup consistency and not too thin.
when the tea is ready and cooled - strain it, mix in the honey and the blended ingredients. Mix well.
I stored some in the fridge, the rest in the freezer.
This batch lasted us for two winter months.
