This potent potion helps break up congestion in the lungs and is an alternative cough syrup for those who react to the artificial colors, flavors and alcohol in most commercial syrups.

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1-1/4 cups honey

Put the onion in a shallow bowl and pour honey over onion, to cover. Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting seal or plastic wrap, and let it ferment at room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours, or preferably overnight. Discard the onion bits, and bottle the syrup.  To use, swirl 1 tablespoon of the syrup in tea or hot water, 3 times daily.
