Notes

Have a few teaspoons as is or squeeze some lemon juice, mix a few spoons of the syrup and add hot water and have it like a soothing cup of hot tea.Never heat honey. You may also add Licorice/Mulethi and Holy Basil/Tulsi leaves to the concoction, when you add ginger. I highly recommend adding both, when available. It is safe for all ages except please do not give honey to a child less than a year. Can be taken throughout the day as needed.
