Homemade Honey Lemon Cough Drops Quick and easy homemade cough drops. I modified a standard candy recipe from LorAnn to suit my daughter's sore throat unsure it would come out right...well, it worked! Note: honey in the candy makes these candies stick to your teeth when bitten. Be sure to suck on them. Ingredients 1 cup granulated sugar ½ cup light corn syrup 2 Tbls. local honey 2 drops Sun Breeze essential oil from Sunrider 4 drops Thieves Young Living essential oil blend 2 drops Lemon Young Living essential oil Hard candy molds (optional) or a piece of parchment paper on a metal cookie tray with sides Powdered sugar Have everything prepared ahead of time, so you can work quickly. I used a metal baking sheet and a piece of parchment paper. Thoroughly mix sugar and light corn syrup in a 4-cup microwave-safe glass measure designed for high temperatures (such as Pyrex). Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes and 10 seconds.* Remove from the microwave and carefully remove plastic wrap. Quickly add 2 Tbls. honey and stir the sugar mixture and then cover with a NEW sheet of plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3 minutes and 20 seconds.* Remove from microwave, carefully remove plastic wrap and stir with a clean spoon. After a moment when the boiling has stopped, drop in and stir in the essential oils of Lemon, Thieves, and Sunbreeze oil. Pour syrup quickly, but carefully using a spoon to control flow, onto prepared cookie sheet and parchment paper or into the waiting molds. As the sugar mixture begins to set up, you may want to score with a large knife to mark squares. Break into pieces when cool. Cool completely. Lightly dust with powdered sugar on both sides, brushing off excess. Break into small pieces. Put a small amount of powdered sugar in a quart size freezer zip-loc bag and the candy/cough drop pieces. Close bag and shake to cover all the cough drops with powdered sugar. Store in the refrigerator. * All microwaves are not created equal. This recipe is designed to work in a standard household microwave with a power rating approx. 700 watts. Mini-microwaves and/or commercial microwaves are not recommended. You won't find anything comparable to Sunbreeze® Oil on the market. That's because it's formulated by owner expertise for quality and safety. It's a great product to use when introducing people to Sunrider, because you can have a refreshing experience by massaging a few drops to your neck, muscles or temples. Sunbreeze® Balm and Oil can soothe muscles. Both feel cool and refreshing and are ideal for overall rubdowns. Contains: menthol, cassia oil, mint extract, eucalyptus oil and camphor. I have a few .17 fl. oz. bottles for sale of $12. A little bit goes a long way.
