WHAAAAT?! This is freakin awesome! I never buy medicine, and just had a cough last week that I couldn’t get over. I will bookmark this for the next cold I get!
This looks delicious! I really cannot stand medicines because of how they make me feel.This right here has me stunned! I love the Instant Pot and this is just another reason why I am going to be loving it even more.
One such cure was homemade cough syrup. I find this remedy absolutely amazing. Think about it. How much money do you spend on cough syrup a year? As a mom of three boys, I can tell you I used to purchase at least three bottles of syrup a year.
As we all know, cough syrup ain’t cheap! So, I decided to try my hand at creating this necessity in the Instant Pot. But before I get into the how-to’s of making your own cough syrup, allow me to detail the importance of some of these ingredients.

Awhile back a friend of mine told me that thyme was a great natural remedy for coughs and colds. I made this Honey Thyme Homemade Cough Syrup to reap the benefits of both honey and thyme in fighting off germs and helping to relieve those uncomfortable symptoms of colds.
Over the last 10 years or so I’ve really turned to natural remedies first before I hit the pharmacy. The organic raw honey in the syrup is soothing and they thyme offers a host of great healing properties due to Thymol. Thymol is derived from thyme and is a powerful antimicrobial that helps with bronchial and respiratory infections.
