Easy Homemade Cough Drops with Honey, Lemon and Ginger

Feel a tickle in your throat. Come learn how to make homemade cough drops with our easy step-by-step recipe. Made with all-natural healing ingredients like honey, ginger, lemon and cinnamon, these cough drops can help soothe sore throats, calm coughs, and more. Honestly, I enjoy sucking on them even when I'm not sick – or drop one into a cup of hot tea. Our natural homemade cough drops are sweet and slightly spicy, thanks to the warm notes of fresh ginger and cinnamon. (They remind me of caramelized ginger chew candies – yum. ) The recipe is flexible so you can easily adjust the seasonings to suit your taste buds, or even use maple syrup to make them vegan.

Truth be told, our early attempts at making homemade cough drops didn't turn out great since most recipes we found online included pretty vague instructions.
