So I would say, that your product should include herb extracts or dry herbs for baby cough. I have some herbs always at hand and they have saved the day many times: Sage, Coltsfoot (which I discovered last fall and I am very pleased with it), Echinacea, Peppermint. We drink prophylactically Chamomile, Marigold, Lime tea. We try to fight cold as natural as possible, hoping to not resort to allopathic treatments.

Tbh, I've never thought about longevity - I figure with all that garlic and thyme in it, it's going to last. I keep ours for about a year before it's gone and I've never refrigerated it. I'm sorry I can't be more specific. I guess 6 months would be advisable.............. Hi Zane,

How long does the syrup stay good for. Does it need to be refrigerated? Hi Mrs Green,

I love your recipe but I have one question. How long does the syrup stay good for. Does it need to be refrigerated?

We've found this recipe to be wonderful, and unlike bought products, my daughter will actually take this happily rather than having to be persuaded (always good!) Good luck with designing your own cough syrup - perhaps you could come back and share the recipe with us. Coltsfoot is worth thinking about too. Nature provides us with so much!
