Pineapple Cough Syrup
This is a real godsend if you have kids who aren’t keen on yucky cough syrup, or if you are just trying to avoid the extra ingredients and side effects of mass produced medications. The proportions in this recipe are approximate, so you can play with them to suit your taste. Young children may not want the cayenne, and some adults might appreciate even more than I’ve added.

- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper omit or reduce for children

- Use as is, or push the mixture through a mesh strainer to get a smoother syrup.
