You can easily make cough syrup yourself with just a few ingredients. In this article, we will tell you how to make cough syrup and what tips you should keep in mind.

Making cough syrup: the ingredients

You probably already have the ingredients you need for your homemade cough syrup at home. Just provide the following things:

• A big onion
• sugar or honey
• A bowl with a lid
• A tablespoon, a board, and a knife
• A little still water

Step by step: How to make the cough syrup yourself

First, peel the onion and cut it into small cubes.

1. Put the onion cubes in the bowl and fill it up with water. The water should completely cover the onions.
2. Now take about five tablespoons of honey or sugar and add it to the onion water bath. Depending on how sweet you want the cough syrup, you should add more or less honey or sugar to the mixture.
3. Now stir the mixture well so that the sugar dissolves.
4. Place a lid or plate on top of the bowl, then place in the fridge for about two hours.
