My German mom swears that drinking onion tea (Zwiebeltee) is the best way to get rid of a bad cough. In Germany, she sweetens it with brown "Kandis," a specific kind of rock sugar, but I use honey here. It is important that you use organic onions for this home remedy as you are cooking them with their peels.

Onion Tea (Home Remedy for Cough)

organic onions, quartered

water

honey,

Place onions in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour.


Strain hot liquid through a sieve. Pour into a cup, sweeten to taste with honey, and drink as hot as possible.


I'm not going to lie, this didn't taste good but I didn't expect it to. After all, it's onion juice sweetened with honey. My particular cough is due to seasonal allergies and I will say that after drinking this, it went away for a couple of hours. I drank a second cup before going to bed and was not woken up by coughing until 4 am so take that  for what it is worth.

I have drank it a few times, I was feeling under the weather few days ago and I feel a lot better now. ears n throat not hurting anymore.
