Sore Throat Syrup to Coat & Soothe

• 1/2 cup water
• Juice from 2 medium sized organic lemons (1/2 cup lemon juice concentrate works in a pinch)
• 1/2 cup local, raw honey
• 2 generous teaspoons of each powdered herb: slippery elm, marshmallow root, licorice root
• Mix well together in a 8 or 16 ounce canning jar

This mixture will thicken as the herbs have mucilaginous properties, how & why they coat and sooth.

Dose: a heaping teaspoon as needed to soothe and coat the throat when sore, hoarse, or dry cough.
