Hello and Happy New Year to everyone. My GM always made a cough syrup out of honey, lemon, butter and Old Grandad Whiskey. To this day I use it. In fact it is the only thing that helps my daughter, now 22 with her cough from her asthmatic attacks. She hates it though. Me, I lick the spoon. But I can't stand whiskey. I'll have to check with my Aunt I know my GM had many more home rememdies. Have a Great Day!!! Mary Ann McClain-Bolak :~)
