The respiratory system is put to the test and the coughing becomes torture.

What many do not know is that the union of these two special products gives life to a truly miraculous syrup, it is a panacea that we can no longer do without.  Let’s see together how to prepare it.

Lemon and bay leaf: the two allies against seasonal ailments

We’re facing another long winter here, our houses are warm and it’s freezing outside. This sudden change in temperature can only be a problem for our health:  flu and cough are just around the corner.  Unfortunately, when we get sick and experience these symptoms, we start stuffing ourselves with medicines and syrups in the hope of recovering as quickly as possible and carrying out our daily activities with serenity. We empty the pharmacy and fill the pantry with  all sorts of medicines , without knowing that it is enough to combine two ingredients that we usually always have at home.

Thanks to this simple recipe we can  heal quickly and only by taking 100% natural ingredients.  Below we will show you step by step how to make this real panacea.

Here you can find out how to make this great syrup

This is a very simple recipe that you can make completely independently. The first thing to do is get some  brown sugar,  you will need 12 tablespoons to pour into a pan. Place the pan with the sugar on a stove over low heat and stir constantly until the sugar has the consistency of caramel. At this point you need to pour  100 ml of water , continue stirring and bring to the boil.

While the mixture is boiling on the stove, you can  grab your bay leaves: ten are enough.  Continue by chopping the leaves well. If you are wondering how bay leaf can help you feel better, the reason is that its leaves have an  antiseptic effect  that is excellent for getting rid of coughs, even the most stubborn ones. After chopping the leaves, you can add them to the sugar and water boiling on the stove and let them cook for another  15 minutes  . After cooking, allow the mixture to cool completely. When it has cooled and the bay leaves have replaced all the beneficial properties, you can  proceed by filtering the syrup through a sieve . Ideally, you put it in a  jar with a lid.

Now it’s the lemon’s turn:  you have to squeeze the juice of a whole lemon through the juicer. Thanks to the juicer you get a smooth juice without seeds or lemon pulp. Then add to the syrup by stirring with a spoon.

This is a syrup that you  can keep in the pantry or refrigerator  for a long time . Taking a tablespoon as needed will help clear your airways and breathe deeply.  It also tastes great.
