Syrup for sore throats

I am so over snotty noses, clumps of tissues in every pocket including the washing machine unfortunately.
I am fighting off a determind sore throat with my homemade cough syrup.

Very simple, just a small jar packed full of sliced lemon and ginger (I use both fresh and crystallised) and then slowly pour honey over these till it fills in gaps and comes to the top.
Then leave in the fridge and when required poor a desired amount into a mug and mix with boiling water.
Then replenish with more honey. 

I also add a 1/4 tsp of tumeric to my mug and a pinch to Alison's, for an added immunity boost.
