cherry cough syrup recipe

This is a very simple recipe that is full of vitamin C, and the goodness of honey, and helps soothe coughs and sore throat. This is a good syrup to give to children, as it is more palatable to a child's sweet tooth than the Raspberry & Thyme Vinegar. (Find the recipe for Raspberry & Thyme Vinegar here).
