Recipe to stop coughing.
I was browsing an old cookbook I found at a yard sale some time ago and this was handwritten on a piece of paper. Don't know if it works or not but worth a try. I had to correct some spelling and abbreviations.
To Stop Coughing
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
Dissolve cayenne and ginger in cider vinegar and water. Add honey and shake. Take a swallow.

30+ years ago and elderly German lady told me to drink hot orange juice, when I had a cough. It works for me. It even helped when I had pneumonia.
I cannot abide honey. I remember someone giving me honey and lemon as a child. It made me gag.

I wish I could remember the exact technique but my Grandma used to bake a half lemon with honey and it worked great for coughs. I can't remember if there were other ingredients or not. I DO KNOW there was NO whiskey or alcohol. She was a tee-totaler. (sp?)

Also, the Honeysuckle youtube channel has a great homemade cough/cold syrup that has really worked for me.
