Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric (optional)
  • 12 cups water (depending on desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pineapple: Peel and chop the fresh pineapple into manageable pieces for blending.
  2. Blend the pineapple: Combine the chopped pineapple and 1 to 2 cups of water in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth, creating a pineapple juice base.
  3. Add the ingredients: Pour the pineapple blend into a pot or saucepan. Add the honey, freshly grated ginger, lemon juice, and turmeric if you choose to include it.
  4. Simmer the syrup: Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 15-20 minutes, which helps the flavors come together and slightly thickens the syrup.
  5. Strain (optional): To achieve a smoother, pulp-free syrup, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth after simmering.
  6. Cool and store: Let the syrup cool completely. Transfer it to a clean glass jar or bottle, and store it in the refrigerator. The syrup will keep well for up to one week.
  7. Serve: Take a spoonful of the syrup as needed to soothe your cough, or mix it into warm water or tea for easier consumption and added comfort.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • Turmeric adds anti-inflammatory benefits but can be omitted if unavailable or undesirable.
  • Storing the syrup in a glass container helps maintain freshness and avoids flavor contamination.
  • The syrup can be kept refrigerated for up to one week; discard if it shows signs of spoilage.
  • This is a natural remedy and not a substitute for professional medical treatment if symptoms persist or worsen.
