Lemon Orange Honey Sore Throat Popsicles

If you haven’t heard, manuka honey is shown to be effective at reducing symptoms of allergies, colds, flus and more.

Whether you’re combating a cough or a dry or sore throat it's not always easy to get your little ones to take their medicine, natural or not. And as adults, sometimes we want a little extra help. Why not make a special treat with extra soothing properties, vitamin C and manuka honey?

These are so good, you’ll want to make them even when you’re not feeling unwell. In that case, simply leave out the elixir & add a bit more tea for a super healthy, immune supporting dessert with no processed sugars!

Lemon Orange Honey Sore Throat Popsicles

Yields: 10 popsicles

Ingredients:
4 lemons
2 oranges
3.5 cups water
4 tbsp orange juice (fresh squeezed)
2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
4 tbsp PRI Manuka Honey (we used our Australian Manuka Honey 25+)
4 tea bags (or brew your own with fresh ingredients, we like ginger, lemon or even turmeric)
1-2 tsp each popsicle PRI Lemon & Honey Cough Elixir

Instructions:

Slice 4 lemons and 2 oranges, place them in a container and brush them with 2-3 tbsp of honey based on preference. Pour orange juice and lemon juice into the container and shake. Refrigerate while preparing the rest.

Bring 3.5 cups of water to a boil, remove from heat and steep 4 tea bags and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Press on the sides of the tea bag with a spoon to get all the remaining liquid from the tea bag.

Add 1-2 tbsp of honey into the liquid. Stir so the honey gets mixed in.

Next, pour in the refrigerated lemon and orange mixture and refrigerate it for 10-20 minutes. The longer you wait, the more fruity the bars will taste.

Strain the mixture to remove the rinds. Set the rinds aside to use in the popsicles as decoration.

Now you can add in the cough elixir 10 tsp and stir well or add 1-2 tsp into each popsicle for the full dose in each pop.

Place a lemon in the mold and pour in the mixture! Add the cough elixir if you haven’t yet and cover and pop in your popsicle stick. Freeze overnight or for 6 hours minimum or until frozen and hard (depending on your freezer temperature).
