Cough syrup recipes anyone????

Last year I made up a cough syrup for the first time. I thought that it would taste pretty bad, but it was really quite good. It was the only thing that worked on our "nagging" hacky coughs.

1 qt. honey
1 large strong onion
1 bulb (not a clove) garlic (sliced)

Put the honey in a sauce pan or small crock pot. Add the onion and garlic. Simmer on very low heat for about 8 hours. Strain through cheese cloth and it's ready to use when it cools.

Shrek, my dh keeps telling me that his grandfather used to crush pepermint candy up in whiskey and use as cough med. (i though he was just kidding, maybe not huh???)

Leanna, I am gonna try this, I like the garlic and onion with the honey, it sounds like it should be "good" for a cough.
