*I would never use raw honey for babies under a year old, due to a natural bacteria that can make them very sick. If you have a little one under a yaer old and want to try a cough remedy, I recommend using maple syrup instead of honey.
**Raw honey has active enzymes, 'good' bacteria, and tons of other beneficial stuff that normal, pasteurized grocery store honey doesn't have. If it's raw, it will say so on the label. Local honey is also a great choice.
How to take it:
Take a spoonful of honey as needed, avoiding the chunks of garlic and ginger unless you just reeely like the taste of garlic.
Keeping it going:We keep the mix going as long as we have colds in the house by adding more honey and lemon to taste as we use it up.
I also refresh the cloves of garlic and ginger daily, removing the old ones with a fork, and adding new ones.
