Homemade Herbal Cough Drops

This recipe would require some time to make, so hopefully, you are doing this before you get too sick to make.  

Herbal Cough Drop - I call it "Maricola!" :D

Ingredients:

1cup buckwheat honey
Ginger root juice (strain the grated ginger)
Lemon juice
Drops of black elderberry extract (Do not use during pregnancy or Lactation)
Drops of slippery elm extract (Do not use during pregnancy or lactation)
2 Tea bags of Echinacea Plus (brand: Traditional Medicinal) --- Boost immune system
2 Tea bags of Camomile Tea (same brand)

Direction:

First, boil the tea bags of Echinacea and Camomile until the hot water is really dark (and smells like Ricola!) You just need maybe 20 drops from this "extract." You can drink the rest as tea. You can actually just use the tea bags that are made to cure cold/flu.

Then, mix all ingredients in a saucepan and heat it up until it gets foamy and really dark. Drop a bit amount in an icy water to see if it gets really hard. Pour it in a hard candy mold and pop them out when hardened. Use kudzu powder on the candies so that they don't stick together (note: wait till the candies cool off). I also put extra kudzu powder in the jar to make sure.

All of the ingredients are good to fight cold/flu. DO NOT USE Elderberry and Slippery Elm if you are pregnant or lactating!!

Made a couple of candies to go by wrapping them up with parchment paper.
