It’s a traditional remedy people have used since ancient times to soothe a dry cough and sore throat, made with nothing more than pure honey and onion. So let’s walk through how to make it…

1) Choose a large onion
Start with one large onion and slice it into thin pieces. Then place the slices into an empty jar.
Note: Make sure your jar has a lid so it can be sealed airtight.
2) Honey

Using a tablespoon, add about 4–5 generous spoonfuls (or adjust as needed—I usually eyeball it). Your goal is to fully cover the onion with honey.
Seal the jar tightly and let it sit overnight so the onion can release its juices. The next morning, strain the mixture and transfer the liquid—which should now have a slightly thicker, syrup-like consistency—into a clean jar.

Extra tip for kids
If you want to make the taste milder and more “pleasant” for your little one—or even for yourself—you can dilute it with a bit of water.
Store the jar in the refrigerator and use it morning and night for at least 3 days.
