Homemade Cough Drops

The idea of making my own cough drops/sore throat drops is especially appealing when I think of all the unknown ingredients that are in the cough drops available at the store. My interest is peaked even more when I think of my grandchildren, and my daughters concern over what they eat, including trying to limit their sugar intake. This is a simple solution to both concerns.

This first website lists different flavors (Herbs) of cough drops and for what use each particular herb is used. http://snappyliving.com/homemade-cough-drops/

Once you're there, they have a link (which I also added to the end of this paragraph) to a site with the actual step-by-step recipe and method. (Including lots of great photos!) http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2008/12/make-your-own-horehound-cough-drops.html

I can't wait to try this!
