With that said, here’s how to make it:
- Clean and slice two lemons.
- Break off 3 to 4 stems of ginger, cut off the skin then cut up the ginger (anyway that you like).
- Fill the mason jar with the lemon and ginger slices, alternating and intermixing the two.
- Pour raw honey over the entire thing (raw, raw, raw….the honey must be raw).
- Take a knife and chop at the mixture within the jar to get the juices of the lemon flowing.
- Add the mason jar lid and refrigerate for 2-3 days before use.
That’s it. THAT. IS. IT. Stop buying cough syrup, my friends.
It really needs to sit in the fridge for a few days for the ingredients to really immerse themselves with each other. After it’s sat for a bit, we usually try to use it up within 2-3 weeks. You may need to shake the jar a bit before use. When it’s needed, take a tablespoon (or two) at a time.
FYI: A huge plus, besides all of the benefits of all of those natural ingredients, is the fact that it tastes crazy good. I have no problem getting Madison to take it and I occasionally use it as a sweetener for my tea. So, yes, Maddie takes it, I take it, Mario takes it.
Make it, use it, love it.
You’re welcome ;).

I'm a huge fan of natural remedies as well!
this sounds awesome! honey,lemon and ginger tea is my go-to when I'm sick so this sounds perfect!
Yes, yes, yes! I actually love how this tastes in teas so give that a go with just a regular tea when you're not feeling so well.
I always make my own honey ginger and lemon cough syrup! It's also great as a tea – sometimes I drink it even when I'm not sick 😀
OOMG! Me too, Amanda, because we always have it in the house even when everyone is feeling well, lol!
This sounds so wonderful! Would be just a great warming drink, too!
I love natural remedies so this is awesome!
This is a wonderful cough syrup recipe, I just love using all natural home remedies for getting healthy! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds awesome and ginger is so good for you….going to have to try it!!!!
What a great idea I know these things are so helpful when you're sick
Love it. I try to use more of home remedies than medicines and ginger, honey is definitely a go to for cold at my home.
My husband hates taking medicine so I always make home remedies for him when he feels under the weather. I'll have to give this one a try!

I definitely need to try and make this!! I've had a cough for weeks.
Thanks for sharing this. I pinned it and will make it. Does it keep for a long time in the fridge? I love the taste of ginger, so this sounds like it tastes good besides being helpful.
Thank you for sharing your recipe! I often go for the natural homemade medicines
