3 TBS FRESH THYME- I use lemon thyme, but you can use whatever you have on hand. I just like the lemony taste with the honey.
1/3 CUP RAW HONEY
2 CUPS WATER
BRING THE 2 CUPS WATER TO BOIL. ADD THE THYME AND REMOVE FROM HEAT. LET STEEP AND COOL DOWN TO BELOW 95 DEGREES. POUR THE TEA THROUGH A STRAINER TO REMOVE THE LEAVES. ADD THE RAW HONEY TO THE TEA AND MIX WELL. YOU CAN ADD EXTRA LEMON JUICE OR CHOP A FRESH LEMON TO PUT IN THE JAR. STORE IN THE FRIDGE FOR UP TO 3 MONTHS.
The best thing about this cough syrup, is it is non toxic. You can give it to small children, just not children under two if you use raw honey. If you make this with regular honey, you can give it to any child, though many of the benefits are lost if you aren't using raw honey. The Thyme is still medicinal.
Stain remover Recipe:
1 cup liquid cascade
1 cup Clorox color safe bleach
Fill your washer with hot(turn off the cold) water and add the bleach and cascade. Soak whatever clothes you have that have food or grease stains. Soak them over night. Then let the washer run thru the rest of its cycle.
All Purpose Cleaner
2 Cups Rubbing alcohol
1 TBS Ammonia
1 Tsp Dish washing liquid (I use Dawn)
Essential oil of choice (optional). I like Lavender
Food Coloring (optional) I use blue
Mix all in a 1 gallon container and fill the rest of the container with water. If you don't have a gallon size container, you can do what I do now in that I mix everything, then just leave it as concentrate. I'll add some to a spray bottle (about 1/4 cups) and then fill the bottle with water.
