Sunflower Cough Syrup
Sunflower petals simmered with honey make an old country-style cough syrup, soothing and mildly sweet.
What you'll need
- 1/2 cup dried sunflower petals
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup honey
Steps
- Simmer sunflower petals in water for 20 minutes, reducing by half.
- Strain and stir in honey while still warm.

Important: Never give honey-based syrups to infants under 12 months due to botulism risk.
