Cough Syrup

I found this recipie in a newspaper.  I want to have it down in a place I won't loose it.  It seems with little ones and winter it would be a nice thing to try.  Daddy calls me and says little Jordyn isn't feeling well.  Her ears are hurting and she has a fever.  I try to think of what to do. What did I do? I remember at one time putting warm oil in Emily's ears.  I lift up a prayer for my little one and hope as Jesus holds her through the night that things will look better for this sweat child in the morning light.

                                                 
One lemon, sliced thin
One cup flax seeds
One quart water
1/4 cup of honey

    Simmer the lemon, flax seeds and water for 4 hours.  Do not boil.  Strain and add honey.  If there is less than one pint, add water to make a pint. 

Dose: One T. four times a day or after each fit of coughing.
