This Honey Onion Cough Syrup is soothing, sweet, and packed with natural goodness! Thinly sliced onions release their immune-boosting juices into raw honey, creating a golden syrup that calms sore throats and eases coughs. Ready overnight and made with just two ingredients, it’s a simple, time-tested remedy that’s perfect for keeping your family healthy through the cold season.

Key Ingredients

1. Onions

Onions are rich in quercetin and natural compounds that help fight inflammation and support the immune system. When sliced, they release their natural juices, which blend with the honey to create a soothing, medicinal syrup.

2. Raw Honey

Raw honey is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, coating the throat to calm irritation while providing powerful antioxidants. It also draws out the onion’s juices, transforming them into a sweet, golden syrup.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1. Slice the Onion Peel and thinly slice or dice the onion. The thinner the slices, the faster they’ll release their natural juices into the honey.

Step 2. Layer and Cover with Honey Place the sliced onions in a clean, sanitized glass jar. Pour raw honey over them until they are fully submerged and covered.

Step 3. Let It Steep Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 6–12 hours, or overnight. The honey will draw out the onion’s liquid, creating a sweet, soothing syrup.

Step 4. Strain (Optional) If you prefer a smooth syrup, strain out the onion pieces before storing. Otherwise, leave them in and scoop syrup as needed.

Step 5. Store and Use Transfer the jar to the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks. Take 1–2 teaspoons as needed to soothe coughs and sore throats.
