Hello everybody. Hi guys, welcome back to our channel. Home is where our heart is. I am Dane. I'm Selly. Today we're going to teach you how to make some homemade cough syrup. Homemade cough syrup made from beautiful natural ingredients. Yes, we're using pine needles. Have you ever had pine needle cough syrup before? Pine needle cough syrup. Delicious. Mixed with ginger and lemon and honey because nature can provide all we need. Yes, so come with us and we'll show you how to make it. Welcome back home. Home is where our heart is. For this recipe you're going to need a bunch of pine needles, some lemon, some honey and some ginger. Step one, the jar that you're going to have your cough syrup in, fill it up with water to about halfway and then I'm going to use about a knob of ginger because I really really love ginger. Ginger is a fantastic plant, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants. It can relieve and suppress the symptoms of coughing. It's even been shown to bring natural pain relief because of its potent anti-inflammatory properties. Pour your half jar of water in the pan and add in your lovely ginger. I'm going to boil it all up to infuse the ginger with the water. Now these pine needles are from the red pine and not all pine is edible so if you want to learn how to identify edible pines and everything about the pine then be sure to check out our guide to pine video that'll pop up at the end of this video. So let's chop up our pine and we want to fill about half of the jar. Now pine makes a great addition to cough syrups because it's rich in vitamin C and vitamin A plus it's antibacterial and expectorant. Expectorant means to help loosen mucus within our chest so it's easier to cough it up. Pine has also been shown to help respiratory infections such as coughs, asthma and bronchitis. After this has been boiling for a minute bring it over to your jar and add to your pine needles all the water and the ginger. That's all going to infuse in there until it comes down to room temperature. So now this is cooled down back to room temperature you'll see that the pine needles have lost a lot of their colour and this means that they've given a lot of what they've got to this water infused with pine needles and ginger. So you simply filter out the juice squeeze out all the last bits of juice dispose of that then add that back to your jar. Ginger and pine. Now we're going to add the juice of one lemon. We're using lemon because it helps to preserve the syrup with its citric acid. Lemon is rich in vitamin C antioxidants and has strong antibacterial properties. Then fill up the rest of your jar to the top with honey. Now honey, the beautiful sweet delicious honey has long been used as a remedy for coughs and colds for thousands of years. And there we have it. Homemade cough syrup. Homemade cough syrup made with pine, ginger, lemons and honey. Taste test. Taste test time. Yes very good. Cough syrup. Wow so good.
