Onion Syrup

Onion syrup is an excellent decongestant and is soothing on the throat for Colds and Flu.

Ingredients:

One large or two small onions

Brown or unbleached sugar

Slice the onion thinly into rings. Place a layer of onion in a screw top jar and cover generously with sugar, add another layer of onion and then another layer of sugar and so on until you have used up all the onion. Screw on the lid and leave overnight or until the sugar has completely dissolved then strain the liquid through a sieve into another screw top container or bottle. The syrup will keep in a refrigerator for at least two weeks, perhaps longer.
