My father (born in 1901) gave me the best receipt for cough syrup and phlegm that his family used. It is equal parts of honey, lemon juice and whiskey... for instances 2 tablespoons of each. Put in glass jar with lid and shake to mix before taking a teaspoon.

I remember one patient when I worked on the pediatric ward that the doctor had tried everything on..poor little tyke was in oxygen tent...He wrote an order to pharmacy for that exact medication, the baby was given 1/4 tsp. every 3 hours...it worked on the phlegm that was chocking him.

I think I might like your recipe better than mine :-).

A little bit of honey, a little bit of zesty lemon and a little bit of Jameson whiskey—the sweet, the zesty and the Irish whiskey. Can’t beat that.
