DIY: Mullein Cherry Bark Cough Syrup

Ingredients

  • 1 pint distilled water
  • 1/8 cup dried wild cherry bark
  • 1/8 cup dried mullein leaves
  • 1/2 cup raw honey

Instructions

  • Warm one pint of distilled water over medium-low heat before adding the dried cherry bark and mullein leaves into the water. 
  • Allow to heat for at least 20 minutes, up to two hours (on lower heat). The longer you warm the herbs, the stronger the cough syrup. 
  • Strain out the herbs, and add the raw honey to sweeten (and for additional benefits). 
  • Upon completion, bottle, refrigerate, and be prepared for the winter cough!

Notes

You can make a large batch and freeze it, then warm it when needed. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to one month and in the freezer for 8-10 months.
