Today I am giving you my natural recipe for making lozenges against sore throat.
And you will see, there is nothing simpler to do.
With this, no more scratchy or itchy throat in just a few minutes.
And to tell you the truth, I prefer them to commercial Strepsil or Humex pellets.
Why ? Because they are less sweet, more natural and much more effective.
3 good reasons to go into the kitchen and make your throat lozenges!
It was my naturopath who gave me his recipe and since then the pain has ended.
Here is my natural and effective recipe to make your throat gummies with only 3 ingredients . Watch:
- 125 g cane sugar
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 1 teaspoon of water
- 5 drops of lemon or eucalyptus essential oil (optional)
- baking paper
- pan
- kitchen thermometer
- teaspoon
Preparation: 5 mins - Cooking: 4 min - For 20/25 pastilles
1. Put the sugar, water and honey in the pan
2. Boil the water. It foams, it's normal.
3. Put the thermometer in the mixture. When it reaches 150°C, turn off the heat.
4. When the mixture is lukewarm, add the essential oils.
5. Mix.
6. Lay out the sheet of baking paper.
7. With the spoon, take a little of the mixture and put it on the parchment paper.
8. Continue until you run out of caramel.
9. Let dry and harden.
10. When the caramel has hardened a little, roll each candy to form spheres.
There you go, your 100% natural anti-sore throat lozenges are already ready :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Just suck on a lozenge as soon as you feel the first symptoms of sore throat.
You can take up to 6 a day.
I love to melt it in an herbal tea whenever I have an itchy throat.
The lozenges will keep for about 2 or 3 months in an airtight box.
Keep them away from heat, direct sunlight and temperature variations.
Be careful, if you have put essential oils, do not give the pastilles to a pregnant woman or to children under 10 years old.
To prevent the pastilles from sticking together, roll them in icing sugar as soon as you shape them.
You can also replace the water with organic lemon juice. Its vitamins will help you heal.
My little secret is also to put a little ginger in the lozenges.
Want a better tip? Make sore throat lollipops.
Here's how:As you put the caramel on the baking sheet, pour in some more material.
Then, put a small stick and let it dry.
As it dries, the stick will be caught in the caramel like a real medicine lollipop.
