Please do follow the directions in the video. I merely recorded them wrong and have now updated the post.

Thank you so much for letting me know about this discrepancy

Best,

I tried this one this evening and waiting for the results. Just now I saw in the video clipping that the ratio is

1/2tsp ginger juice : 1 tsp honey

But the version specified in writing says

1/2 tsp ginger juice : 1/2 tsp honey ( I gave to my kid in this ratio)

Which is the correct one?

My kid is 4 and half years old and I just wonder should we need to change the amount of ginger based on age?

We tried your ginger recipe for our daughter. It worked great! Thanks so much for the tip.

Sheila, how long can you keep your cough syrup? I would like to make a batch here before the nasty colds set in!

Thank you, everyone!

one way I like to prepare ginger and honey is thusly:

using a spoon, scrape the thin brown skin off of a good size piece of fresh ginger root (5-6 inches long, don’t know how many cm, ) By scraping you don’t lose too much of the ginger;

using a vegetable peeler pare the ginger root into thin slices (like sushi ginger/gari). Sometimes the center of the root can be fibrous so cut this thinly with a paring knife;

put shredded ginger into a small, clean, wide mouth jar (pint sized?) and fill the jar with raw honey. Add a piece or 2 of lemon peel (the yellow part without the white pith);

Allow to stand at room temp., shaking gently over the first few hours to distribute the honey around the ginger. Over time (2-3 hours) the honey, which is hygroscopic/water attracting, will draw the juice out of the ginger. You end up with preserved ginger slices and ginger lemon infused honey. Use in tea, hot water, or straight for sore throats and coughs. Especially good with sage tea for sore throats.
Delish!

I have had this ferment a little in the jar – seems an added benefit!

enjoy!

I have spent many of those nights, especially with 3 of our kids recently having whooping cough, and I know how I would have given anything for a simple remedy that works. Thank goodness for the Internet . . .

I am so glad that you were able to get some sleep as well–it’s easier to be there for our kids when we are rested.
