Mrs. Agnes' Peppermint Cough SyrupIngredients:
1 Pint Good Whiskey
Soft Peppermint Sticks or Pillows
In a tall slim jar with a good fitting lid, put as much soft stick peppermint candy as it will hold. Pour in 1 pint of good whiskey. Shake to help whiskey to melt candy.
You may also use soft pillows (which I used). Keep putting in candy until liquid is as thick as cold honey.
Coat spoon with syrup and lay it on the back of your tongue for proper usuage.

Wow, this is a recipe I have wanted to find for a long time. My paternal grandmother made this when I was a child, and it was the BEST cough syrup, bar none. Thanks!
cs~ me too! I have an older friend who lives down the road, Ms. Agnes, who shared a book she is writing for her children with all the OLD recipes. If you can think of any other you would like, please let me know. I may have it :)
