Homemade turnip cough syrup. A Traditional Chinese recipe

This amazing syrup is made using only turnip and honey. Brilliant for children and adults alike this is so effective and great to have as a support through Autumn and Winter. Turnip clears heat, resolves phlegm and drains dampness in Chinese Medicine and so is perfect for both dry and wet coughs.

Turnip cough syrup recipe

Step 1- Chop up the turnip skin on and place in a kilner jar. 

Step 2 - Add enough honey to mostly cover the turnip pieces (1/2 a jar of honey approximately). These measurements don’t need to be exact. 

Step 3 - leave for 48 hours. 

In this time magic will happen and the juice from the turnip will seep out into the honey making it double in volume! Your syrup is now ready.
