Home remedy for bad cough

I am looking for the home remedy for bad cough using a mixture of whisky, glycerin, peppermint, rock candy and honey.
(24 Apr 2006)

Here is a good remedy for that tickly cough at the back of your throat that hurts.
 
¼ cup strong cheap whiskey, 3 peppermint hard candies, 2 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoon sugar (just for taste)

  • Place the whiskey and honey in a small jar.      
  • Crush peppermint candies well till they dissolve and shake the jar.


    Add the sugar only if you need it for the taste. If you don't need it, don't add it.      
  • Let it sit for sometime and till the peppermints dissolve.      
  • Whenever you feel that tickly sensation at the back of your throat, just take a teaspoon or even a tablespoon if it is very bad. You can also give this to children, but dilute it with more water.
