—Tea, honey, lemon and chicken soup are all purpose cures.—

I grew up thinking it was whiskey, honey, and lemon. LOL

I still have an un-opened bottle of my dad’s Seagram 7. I leave it as a tribute to him.

Well we had those too, when I was growing up. I don't have the recipe, but my mom made homemade cough syrup. Lemon juice, honey, whiskey and hard rock candy.

When you took a dose, you felt it all the way down. It worked as well as Turpin hydrate and codeine. I read recently that honey is a natural cough suppressant equal to any found in cough medicine/drops of any medicine on the market.
