Common Cough Syrup in the 1940's
½ C Water½ C Honey (it would have been raw honey back then)
¼ C Lemon Juice
¼ C Cinder Vinegar
2 Tbs ground ginger
Heat until a good simmer.
Pour through a strainer or some cheese cloth.
Allow to cool and jar it up.
Give it a good shake before using.
For adults, give two tablespoons.
Keep in mind that this was a tea-totaling household.
In other households, whiskey would have been substituted for the water no doubt.
