KITCHEN HACK: To keep a pan from boiling over, place a wooden spoon across the top of the pan. It needs to touch both sides. You can stir around it on both sides. I have used this trick for over 40 yrs.....with everything but mostly potatoes.
Need to make some of these. TY
Mary
YAY thanks!!! I will have to remember this, thank you!!
Just wondering with the honey and boiling it. I've read that boiling is bad for it. Here's a quick reference.
I hope this helps. I didn't know this for the longest time.
"In order to liquefy honey, it is best to heat it at 35-40°C (95-104°F). The temperature should not go beyond 40°C (104°F) to avoid overheating. Overheating honey for any period of time will reduce its quality by destroying its enzymes, loss the delicate flavor, aroma and darkening the honey color."
Cyndi Aquino yes, my understanding is that honey is useless once heated.. Great idea tho...
Cyndi Aquino
Yeah, same thing with make making a hot lemon drink with honey. You want the health benefits, you better make a cold lemonade, sick or not! Not to mention, that it’s extremely bad for your teeth to drink a hot acidic liquid with sugar in it.
I bet those drops taste delicious though - and you will probably still get some benefits from the oils and spices.
Edit...you could just work in the honey once it’s cooled down though...and treat it as a cough sirup.
I don’t think, it’ll harden into drops, if you don’t boil it, but you could slowly eat it from a spoon.
I often see people boiling honey or putting it over meat then frying the meat with it. Bad idea to heat honey that much. Not only it becomes just a simple useless sugar it also isn't very healthy, some of its components transform at high temperature. So don't heat it higher than it would be in the beehive.
Thank you, the best DIY sofar I have seen....
Oh I am so glad I remembered watching this in January. I woke up with a horrible sore throat and nose problems this morning, so I watched this and will make a batch right now! Thank you for making this video.
Hope you feel better soon!
How long can this be stored? Do you recommend it refrigerated? Can kids take this as well? Btw love your channel definitely worth to watch!!!
Thanks for this one. I’ll be making this very soon!
Nice video-loved seeing your baby!
Thank you!
These look great! can’t wait to make them!
Thank you sooo much!!
Could we also add Elderberry Syrup? If so, how much?
Peppermint and citrus oils are a hard NO NO for the throat as they irritate a lot. Yes they feel refreshing but they are irritants. It is better to use chamomile or clove with ginger.
What do you think about heating the honey?
@@t.c87 commercial honey is already heated. Don’t overheat it.
How many drops of oil should be used? and how best to prepare honey should it be boiled up to 300 degrees? Thanks
Add the honey after you heat the other stuff. If honey over heats it’s loses it beneficial properties. I will make this for my daughter when she is old enough I will leave out the essential oils honey is pretty soothing so I feel like for me it’s unnecessarily
Hi. I love your videos. I feel they are really informative.
Regarding this video, I am from India and our grandmothers always said that heating honey is extremely toxic as per Ayurveda medicine. So we never add honey to anything hot and never ever put it on heat.
Will you be able to suggest a healthy substitute?
Can you just add it after you've taken it off the heat?
Already over cold number two here...with another one yet to come, I‘m sure...winter in the city sucks!
Question: are these kid friendly? I‘m almost assuming they are, since you’re a mom, but kids are often so picky with strong flavors. Thanks!
My kids love them!
Hi im new here. I was wondering if you have any advice for beginning menopausal women im 53 and i was wondering what part essential oils can play in my health? Thanks so much dor all you do.
You're welcome! Clary sage, frankincense, and thyme essential oil would be great for that. You can use peppermint for hot flashes.
How long does it take them to harden? We let harden in a freezer
It should harden almost immediately. If it doesn’t, you didn’t reach the right temperature. Also, the freezer is not a good idea. It makes the cough drops sweat and you lose part of the drop
Do you think I could use maple syrup instead of honey?
maybe agave? I don't think the maple would harden.
I have never tired it this way but I don't think it will set up the same.
Can these be poured into a mold to get them more uniform?
Yes!
Do they harden over time? Or has a taffy texture?
Harden
Can i take these if i am nursing? since it has peppermint in it.
I would avoid peppermint while nursing as it can lower milk supply.
@@ouroilyhouse Am i allowed to use Breath and Digestzen? they both contain peppermint but i was told that because it is in a blend that its ok.
Celcius or fahrenheit
Fahrenheit
My mom used to make me homemade cough drop when I was younger.
Did she use essential oils 🤔
@@imbadatlife1377 nope! She did not.
please for the love of God and your body do not use essential oils almost all of those oils she mentioned are too harsh to be on your skin directly so they if they're too hard to be on your skin there too hard to go in your body essential oils is not for cooking
YES, they should NEVER be ingested or used topically when undiluted
That’s why you have to use a carrier oil like coconut oil, to dilute it. In this recipe, they’re diluted by hot tea water and honey.
@@erickamoore52 you still shouldn't be ingesting essential oils. They aren't made for that, and you can quite literally poison yourself. If you want to add similar things, you need EXTRACTS, *NOT* essential oils. They aren't the same thing. At no point ever should you be ingesting essential oil unless you can find 1000% proven evidence that it's safe.
You should NEVER ingest essential oils 🤦🏽♀️
Several are safe for internal use. Depends on the brand and the oil. :)
