Combine the zest of 2 lemons, ¼ cup peeled ginger (or ½ tsp of ground ginger), and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan.
Bring your mixture to boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Strain your mixture into a heat-proof measuring cup.
Rinse your saucepan and add 1 cup of honey or agave nectar. Warm the honey or nectar but don’t bring it to boil.
Add your strained lemon-ginger water and ½ cup lemon juice.
Stir the mixture until it forms into a thick syrup.
Pour into a clean jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator once cooled.
You can give your child 1 tsp to 2 tsp every 2 to 4 hours as needed for their cough.
