Homemade Honey Lemon Cough Drops

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a small pot.

Step 2

Heat the pot slightly over medium heat and melt the ingredients together.

Step 3

The honey mixture will start to bubble, remove from heat and whisk until bubbles/foam recedes slightly. Replace on heat.

Step 4

Do this for 2.5-3 minutes, whisking every 15 seconds or so. You want the mixture to get HOT but not to outright burn.

Step 5

The mixture will start to change color (dark honey color).

Step 6

After three minutes-ish, pour the mixture into silicone molds but do not fill them all the way. You want the drops to be very small and thin.

Step 7

Let cool on the counter for twenty minutes then place in the freezer to set.

Step 8

Pop the disks out when you need them. They are chilled and soothing but they're also sticky once melted (almond-like a taffy) so try not to chew them too much!

Step 9

Makes 8 drops depending on mold.
