Honey Lemon Cough and Cold Remedy

April 4, 2010 By Gwen Brown 44 Comments

This is our favorite cough, sore throat, and cold remedy.  Even the kids love the taste of it.  Which was important to me, because even the best natural remedy won’t work if it doesn’t get taken. Colds are our most common complaint around here, so it was important for me to find a natural remedy…
