I am one of those people who hates to take medicine. I know it’s in my blood, my father is the same way. Though I think I am not extreme in my thinking especially when it comes to my kids. Even though I see doctors sometimes I like to try a few natural and simple effective remedies before I make an appointment.
I have tried all of the remedies below. I am not a herbalist or a doctor so consult your doctor if throat irritation still persist. Find a good warm temperature for your kids to enjoy their hot drinks below.
1. Honey and Lemon hot drink.
All you need is juice from a lemon, hot water and 2 tablespoons of honey.
2. Lemon Ginger and Mint Tea
4 slices of lemon, 2 cm pc. of ginger handful of mint, 2 cinnamon sticks and boil for 5 min. Sweeten with honey. Image and recipe is from a Wooden Nest.
3. Sore Throat Sucker Soothers Recipe
This recipe is easy to make, but you do need to make sure it reaches the right temperature. Otherwise it won’t harden when you put them in molds.
Note: this recipe uses honey and babies under age one should not consume honey.
You can also change-up the flavors: mint, cinnamon…

Can I use cinnamon instead of ginger?
Jess, Yes, that should work. I haven’t tried that combo but let me know how it taste.
I have been following your web site for a while, but
until now I made a decision to type at the very least a hey there.
How long until these expire?
April, I’m not sure as we didn’t make very many and they were eaten by the end of the week.
