Grandma Barb's Homemade Cough Syrup..That Works!!

This homemade cough syrup recipe is like gold to my entire family because it's easy to make, natural, and it works! Honey, olive oil and fresh lemon juice does wonders for cold and allergy symptoms. It doesn't just numb the body and soothe the symptoms like manmade medicines tend to do. It actually strengthens the immune system giving it things that is actually needs.

I give this homemade cough syrup to Isaac whenever I think he is about to get a cold. It knocks it right out! And being a 4 year- old BOY (aka germ city) I think having only 2 colds in his life is pretty darn good. That's one of the reason why I prefer natural remedies for sickness.

Make up a batch to have on hand. It lasts for a long time in the refrigerator. Just be sure to stir it up real good before use. I also like to warm it up in the microwave before use as well. It's much more soothing when it's warm.

Cooking up Southern charm, one recipe at a time.

My name is Monique, and I started Divas Can Cook back in 2009 when I noticed a shortage of authentic Southern recipes like the kind I made with my grandma in her kitchen. I’m talking about that Elberton, Georgia cooking infused with North Carolina Appalachia flare. (Hey, I’m a Southern mountain girl; what can I say!) Authentic golden fried green tomatoes, hamburger steak, cornbread, biscuits and gravy, forgotten tea cakes, and fresh blueberry cobblers are the recipes that feel like home.

This channel is full of authentic Southern family recipes, recipes that I’ve developed and tweaked to perfection, and a few non-traditional ones sprinkled throughout for good luck. I hope that I will not only build your kitchen confidence, but become a trusted source for go-to Southern recipes for you and your family!

I found this video because my 5 year old keeps coughing and after trying everything on the shelf nothing was working. I said let me go to YouTube and seek out something natural for my baby, I would have never realized that the Name of the natural concoction would be Grandma Barbara’s… that was my sisters name who passed away on April 11, 2022. I am still trying to get used to living my life without my only older sister, all while trying to take care of myself. Let me rephrase that I meant I am healthy and I want to remain the healthiest I can. I’m glad I found this video and your grandma has the same name as my sister. Thank you, Barbara

You can also place a tablespoon or so in your green tea.

For people using it for allergies, use LOCAL honey (organic), since all the pollens that your allergies are reacting to are in that honey. Works amazing! Great video!

[drearolle]

Thank you, this really worked my six year and a cough and it actually got worse when I gave him over the counter cough medicine, this natural cough syrup eased his coughing instantly !!!!

[thanagitlow]

Wow it really worked guys. I didn’t have Lemon so I used a bunch of limes . Thank you so much

[CANDYZANE]

This is what I need right now! I have been sleeping with a bag of cough drops and a bottle of water. It is allergies that is doing it to me. This looks alot better to me. Thanks!

So the leftover lemon rinds don't go to waste, here's what I do with them;

1. Put the lemon rinds in a jar

2. Pour some white vinegar in the jar

3. Let it sit for two weeks

4. Strain it into a spray bottle and you've got a homemade lemon based cleanser ^.^ .

[divascancook]

I take about a tablespoon whenever I feel I need it. You can also add it to tea as well.

When I was a little girl my grandmother would take a tablespoon of olive oil that was infused with garlic and she never got sick.

What an excellent video! I just made your precious grandmother’s cough syrup, following her recipe you taught us without spilling it like our cooking Diva…lol!!! 😂

I gave my child some y to help stop their coughing.

Thank you for sharing your passion to the world.

Diva, u r a week late! I just got over bronchitis, I was coughing like crazy and OTC and prescription cough syrup did nothing. I'm all better now, but I will definitely keep this recipe in mind next time the kids or I get sick. I love that its natural, without all the junk that goes in cough syrup. Thanks for sharing!

[Copolia]

I was very pleased to see this recipe. We make the same thing back home, but we don't cook it. Just mix the lemon and honey and have it like that. For stubborn coughs in adults, you can also add a clove of crushed garlic which helps.

[rebeccamcmahan]

Will have to try this Sounds like it might work for those who have problems with getting mucous coughed up. We had Honey, Lemon Juice, and Peppermint for soothing the throat when I was a Child. I simply love the "Home Remedies" Nothing quite like them in my opinion...Thanks aMillion for sharing...Blessings.

[divascancook]

I take a about a tablespoon whenever I feel I need it. I give my son a teaspoon or two every few hours or as needed.

[expmnt]

This is what I need. My husband is coughing like a sickly hound around the house. I will make this ASAP.

[aishwaryareddy]

Yes, honey really works. I take it every time I have sore throat or cough.

[divascancook]

I do to! They are so awesome! You're very welcomed!

[julienarine]

Honey, lemon and Cayenne pepper, that's what use to kill a sore throat and for my cough as, well .

[PrettyTemp]

Wow! My grandma Barb used to make these, when we were coming up🙂
