WHISKEY COUGH CURE
Here it is... I promised I'd post it. My grandmother's sure-fire mix to fix that tickley cough in the back of your throat or that deep wheezy cough that rattles and hurts. Don't worry about the gettin drunk part; you won't be using that much because this is good. Keep in mind these measurements are VERY approximate. HOWEVER, do keep the ratio's kinda the same.

Steps:
- In a small fruit jar, place the whiskey and honey.
- Crush the peppermints well (this just helps them dissolve) and toss in the jar. If you need it, add the sugar, but if you don't need it, don't add it.
- Let sit and the peppermints dissolve.
- When you need it, take a spoonful; tablespoon if it's very bad, teaspoon if it's light. It's alright to give this to children, just make it more diluted with water.

Steps:
- Prepare your candy growing area by thoroughly cleaning and drying a 2 quart jar. You will need a place for it to rest undisturbed for about 2 weeks.
- In a large bowl, place the water. Dissolve sugar in water, a little at a time, stirring each time until sugar is completely dissolved, until no more sugar can be incorporated. Pour sugar water into clean jar and place a bamboo skewer in the jar, being sure the top sticks out over the surface of the water. Cover with a cloth, to keep out dust, and let rest until all water is evaporated and crystals have formed on the skewer, several days.
- NOTE: For larger crystals, try "seeding" them, by wetting your skewer and rolling it in sugar before placing it in the sugar water. Be sure not to disturb the crystals as they are growing.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables will give your syrup the best flavor.
- Choose the right honey: Darker honeys have a stronger flavor and more nutrients.
- Simmer, don't boil: Boiling the syrup will destroy the delicate flavor of the herbs and spices.
- Let the syrup cool completely before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Store the syrup in a clean glass jar: The syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
