Not all honey is created equal. Dark, raw honey (like Manuka or buckwheat) packs more antimicrobial punch than the clear, processed stuff in plastic bears. The bear is cute, but he’s weak.
And here’s a weird fact: honey never spoils. Archaeologists found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs—still edible. Your cough remedy is literally older than King Tut’s cold medicine.
Spoon size matters (and so does the spoon)
One spoonful is about one tablespoon (15 ml). That’s enough. Too much, and you’ll just feel sticky and maybe get a sugar rush. But eat it slowly—let it melt on your tongue. Think of it as a slow, sweet truce with your cough.
What kind of spoon? Any spoon. But a wooden spoon looks rustic and fancy. A plastic spoon works fine. A spork? If you’re feeling rebellious, go for it. I won’t judge.
