To make the syrup: combine the onion, garlic, turmeric and honey in a jar. Mix well, it will be sticky, and leave overnight or all day - a good 12 hours at least but as long as 24 hours. Over this time the syrup will brew and draw out the awesomeness found in the onion and garlic, and combining with the goodness of the turmeric and manuka honey. Once brewed the mixture will be a lot more liquidy. Strain through a fine sieve into jar and use the back of a spoon to squash out as much liquid as possible. Store in the fridge for up to a month in a sealed jar. Note: the syrup may separate a little in the fridge [esp. if using coconut oil], simply stir gently to combine.

When a sore throat comes a knocking I take: 1 teaspoon syrup 3 x a day. I also add 1 tsp to hot water and lemon to make a boosted lemon & honey drink. Winter Immune Boost Tonic: combine 1 tsp Kick-ass Syrup with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, and 1/4 cup warm water. Sip before breakfast. Super Boost: add 1/2 tsp echinacea tincture to the above immune tonic and you will be bouncing off the walls!
