CategoryS: omething to Eat - Coughs be gone! Super simple and nourishing..
Kids coughing everywhere I look! Hello winter my old friend... Jelly drops are such a nice simple way to soothe. The gelatin is super nourishing for the gut and the lemon and honey have beautiful antibacterial properties.
I made these for my boys when one them picked up a cough from school. They are a regular in my house for winter. Super easy and soothing for the throat and filled with vitamin C.
I'm very fussy about the honey I use. So much store bought honey is poor quality and originates from China. I absolutely love this honey which you can pick up from Woolies because it's from a from an organic farm in Tasmania AND packaged in glass! #plasticfreezone It tastes unlike other honey and is unique and delicious in flavour.
This was my grandmothers favourite honey and when she would come out and visit she would buy jars of this and take it back with her. The taste reminds me of my childhood and it is just beautiful!
