Woke up with a sore, irritated throat from yesterday's cold? Coughing all day is no fun.
Fortunately, this grandmother's remedy—passed down through generations and proven effective in my family's experience—provides reliable relief every time.
It's simple to prepare and takes just 2 minutes. Here's how:
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1. Use a large cup.
2. Fill with hot water.
3. Add 2 tablespoons honey.
4. Add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.
5. Sprinkle a little cinnamon.
6. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
7. Mix well and sip slowly.

Drink it first thing in the morning when symptoms start. For best results, repeat several times a day as needed.
This natural blend leverages honey's soothing properties, lemon's vitamin C, vinegar's antimicrobial effects, and cinnamon's warmth—a trusted approach for cold relief.
