My friend & I have been on patrol doing some serious immune system boosters (garlic pops, emergen-C, elderberry tincture, echinacea tincture, rest, sunshine, disinfecting, essential oil treatments etc.), and everyone seems to be improving greatly.
Here is the most recent project I made to help soothe sore throats and combat the coughs. I also researched further and found out that this combination is a great expectorant or phelgm fighter.

Raw Honey, Ginger Root, Water, Cream of Tartar
(The consistency is more like peanut brittle)

Tip: Refridgerate the ginger drops so they don't get gooey at room temperature. Instead, they will maintain a hard consistency, (suck them & allow them to absorb in your mouth vs. chewing them.)
