They are also excellent as cough medicines (for example made with cherry bark) or as medicinal substitutes for lemonade syrups. If desired the sugar in the recipes below can be partly or completely replaced with honey.
Dissolve ¾ lb of sugar (350 grams) into a pint of infusion or decoction and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Alternatively make a simple syrup of 1 pint of water and 1 kilo of sugar and mix this syrup with tincture in a ratio of 3 parts of syrup to 1 part of tincture.
