Grandma Barb's Homemade Cough Syrup..That Works!!

[@londafine8287]

I found this video because my 5 year old keeps coughing and after trying everything on the shelf nothing was working. I said let me go to KZbin and seek out something natural for my baby, I would have never realized that the Name of the natural concoction would be Grandma Barbara’s… that was my sisters name who passed away on April 11, 2022. I am still trying to get used to living my life without my only older sister, all while trying to take care of myself. Let me rephrase that I meant I am healthy and I want to remain the healthiest I can. I’m glad I found this video and your grandma has the same name as my sister. Thank you, Barbara

[@afrprincess07]

Bless you❤️❤️

[@Yesimreborn]

💕💕 My condolences to you and your family for your sister 💔 Health is wealth proud of you for choosing your health as a priority 💕☺️ Sending you love

Most the time the internet sucks. This was wholesome and very touching. Thank you ❤

When I was a little girl my grandmother would take a tablespoon of olive oil that was infused with garlic and she never got sick.

[@dd470_]

Wow, now I’m about to Google how to infuse garlic in olive oil!

[@divascancook]

I do to! They are so awesome! You're very welcomed!

[@divascancook]

You can also place a tablespoon or so in your green tea.

[@CANDYZANE69]

This is what I need right now! I have been sleeping with a bag of cough drops and a bottle of water. It is allergies that is doing it to me. This looks alot better to me. Thanks!

[@lemontree0216]

Will be making this for my 4 yr old today. Thanks so much. You always come right on time with your recipes

[@Copolia]

I was very pleased to see this recipe. We make the same thing back home, but we don't cook it. Just mix the lemon and honey and have it like that. For stubborn coughs in adults, you can also add a clove of crushed garlic which helps.

[@angelavan1260]

garlic used to be used for colds or when out medicine in back old days

[@lightshines892]

Ang ginger too..

[@LovinMe60]

Is this ok for toddlers?

[@vedasharma2359]

Yes, they say heating honey is not good. It's better to consume honey at room temperature

[@julienarine8732]

Honey , lemon and Cayenne pepper , that's what use to kill a sore throat and for my cough as,well .

[@divascancook]

that is an awesome tip!! Thanks!

[@NadslGav]

I am so glad that we have people like you ,shared with your best recipe .I liked. Thanks.

[@redsydee]

I love your videos, especially family remedies and recipes! Thank you so much! : )

[@sweetiepie9411]

That is so sweet of you to put this up! Specially at this time of year :)

[@franniepham]

My grandma makes this! I really like it! Thanks for sharing it!

[@divascancook]

It's an old school classic!

[@bobbiebarton5176]

Rest well Grandma Barb

[@MSbritniSHameless]

For people using it for allergies, use LOCAL honey (organic), since all the pollens that your allergies are reacting to are in that honey. Works amazing! Great video!

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

WOAH!! Now that is a dang good tip! Thank you for sharing it!!

[@HaHaHaunted1289]

Thanks for the heads up ☺️😌

[@drearolle7026]

Thank you, this really worked my six year and a cough and it actually got worse when I gave him over the counter cough medicine, this natural cough syrup eased his coughing instantly !!!!

[@divascancook]

This time of year gets me every time with allergies something awful! You'll like this stuff. Take a small jar with you to work. Hope you feel better!

[@divascancook]

I take about a tablespoon whenever I feel I need it. You can also add it to tea as well.

[@eduardocalvillo5658]

Quick question. What’s the quantity of each ingredient you mix? Thanks

[@Veroniica___]

@@eduardocalvillo5658 you can check the quantities in her description box she’s added the recipe there.

[@demetriusoneal9991]

Hi my name: Demetrius O'Neal, Thanks so much! I'm glad I've ran across your video. I love it, and your educating us the people, on a natural ingredients, I love it. Thank you! I'm going to share your video with as many people as possible. I'm one of your new followers now. I hit that post notification and I ranged that bell!! 😂🙏🙌😁

[@jns1930]

What an excellent video! I just made your precious grandmother’s cough syrup, following her recipe you taught us without spilling it like our cooking Diva…lol!!! 😂 I gave my child some y to help stop their coughing. Thank you for sharing your passion to the world.

[@rebeccamcmahan6946]

Will have to try this Sounds like it might work for those who have problems with getting mucous coughed up. We had Honey, Lemon Juice, and Peppermint for soothing the throat when I was a Child. I simply love the "Home Remedies" Nothing quite like them in my opinion...Thanks aMillion for sharing...Blessings.

[@sixgunsue8]

This is fantastic! It really helped my daughter!! Thank you!

[@oooicepoppoo7542]

I do this like 1. Put as much honey you want in the cup 2. Get that lemon juice,and squeeze in some while stirring 3. Give it a taste! I didn't need to cook it.

[@peacefulinvasion]

Personally I just do honey lemonjuice shots XD

[@peacefulinvasion]

@drive1786 It works quite well and is extremely tasty. You don't have to heat up the honey, however you can also heat up some tea and add honey. Be sure to breathe in the steam, it opens the airways and makes your cough more effective.

[@Vlowman]

Hmmm..... followed these instructions and found that the oil ends up in a strata at the top; not mixing with the honey.

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

@@Vlowman It's ok - it all ends up in the same place once you get it down.

[@MzPr3ttyNikki]

Diva, u r a week late! I just got over bronchitis, I was coughing like crazy and OTC and prescription cough syrup did nothing. I'm all better now, but I will definitely keep this recipe in mind next time the kids or I get sick. I love that its natural, without all the junk that goes in cough syrup. Thanks for sharing!

[@ConnectedToMeNow]

Love this Recipe, adding to Favorites!!!

[@mithril45]

My family does this, but they add southern comfort. It packs a punch.

[@misshaze410]

This video is right on time. My allergies acting up and my throat is kind of scratchy. I'm going to go get the ingredients today.

[@abelgomezjr.9703]

i tried it on my 4 year old, she had a bad cough. this worked immediately. thank you

[@divascancook]

+Abel Gomez Jr. yayyyy! I have a elderberry syrup recipe that I'll be posting soon. I live by it!

[@thanagitlow939]

[@idunnoproductionzz]

Your Grandma Barb is a saint, I tell ya what. Love the videos, Moniqué!!

[@shanquellaross9085]

Me and my daughter have bad coughs and runny noses. I’m definitely about to make this!

[@brownperrita]

Will be making this today....I knew about the honey and lemon but not the olive oil. Thank you for sharing!! You are AWESOME like always:D

[@soulqueen3819]

Yes this is good for getting rid of coughs even if jest olive oil and lemon juice!

[@Mitsubachi2529]

I like to add about 2 teaspoons of ginger and 1/4 cup of rum to mine :D.

[@divascancook]

I take a about a tablespoon whenever I feel I need it. I give my son a teaspoon or two every few hours or as needed.

[@rickocconnell9056]

Can I use water instead of oil?

[@wotasticable]

Perfect time for me to see this I have been coughing like crazy lately

[@Qochemist]

I love natural remedies!! Thanks for sharing....

[@resheikadrakeford5562]

I love all of her recipes!! They are truly " the bomb" 😅

[@amuservlog4561]

Thanks for this my friend this is really helpful.

[@katwatson007]

I make something similar, but with tons of ginger! Honey, ginger, and lemon. The olive oil seems like a good thing too, I will try it!

[@kj773]

I needed this. Thank you!

[@divascancook]

actually you can't even really taste the olive oil. Just be sure to use extra virgin olive oil and stir it up before you use it since the oil separates as it sits.

[@mssunnyshine2]

Hey Monique, I use green tea then the honey and lemon. I never knew about the olive oil but hey you learn something new everyday huh! Thanks so much will give a try

[@quaysha1]

Thank you I will CERTAINLY be making this

[@aishwaryareddy767]

Yes, honey really works. I take it every time I have sore throat or cough.

[@bigmomdontplay]

My gramma used to make me & my sister this when we were kids! It tasted so good, we'd sneek & take an extra little sip! Lol

[@divascancook]

awww I sawry!! Glad you're all better now! Now you can get back to eating!! Yayyy!! lol

[@Vardaman]

I have a common chest cold right now :( hope it gets better before christmas!!! Have been drinking this all day long!

[@Buenobebe]

Wow I'm so glad I saw this. Thanks to ur grandma. ;)

[@rubysapphire14]

Works so well!

[@margaretbutterfield2225]

Thank you..it works wonders.

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

This is the same recipe my Grandmother used, only she used whiskey in place of the olive oil. :o)

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

I heard the same thing with an old mountain remedy, using whiskey as you said and also a "sprinkle" of black pepper.

[@luriekensinger6131]

My mother filled a pint jar with half lemon juice and half honey. She stirred it and added a shot of whiskey and stirred again. She would give us one tablespoon of the syrup by mouth and then gave us a teacup of hot tea that she added two tablespoons of syrup to. We would sleep straight through the night.

[@HeyitsBri_]

@@luriekensinger6131 we used moonshine 👀

[@B919ANA]

The alcohol is added as a preservative

[@cottonking4853]

I seriously need this! Thanks! :)

[@breannadetrano3293]

Thank is doesn’t use ginger!!! I love you! And people thought Barb from Stranger Things didn’t do a thing well this Barb just made a super easy cough recipe!

[@NothingButTheBloodofJesus]

Love it! Do you think there will be a major difference if I use key limes instead of lemon?

[@rubysapphire14]

Totally trying this!

[@inkey2]

I am almost 60 years old. I remember when I was a child my dad would make some kind of hot toddy drink of lemon, honey and rum. He would make it when he had a bad cold, sore throat etc

[@NeoMasamune2]

Hmmm I may have to try this.

[@1bestfriend2u18]

Gotta try

[@leando08]

hello is this good for dry cough

[@m0niiquemsp10]

Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of olive oil?

[@brightpurpleviking]

You can get really nice, durable, plastic lids for those mason jars at Walmart. They're Walmart brand, I'm pretty sure, and they're cheap. They're so much easier to use when you're just storing stuff in the fridge and using/opening often. I have a bunch of them and toss the ring-type lids because I'm not one to can anything.
