Violet-Mullein Cough Syrup Hello Everybody, With all the wonderful post on violets, I thought you might be interested in the cough syrup I am making It is great. Make a Tincture with Violets by filling a jar with violet flowers and covering with your preference of  Alcohol, I use Golden Grain as I can not find Everclear, wait a week and drain off liquid and change flowers and por liquid back over them, do this 3 times( you will be suprised as the liquid is emerald green) strain and then on the fourth poring add liquid to a jar packed with mullein leaves leave 1 wk and drain liquid and add liquid to a jar which has lemon, orange and lime slices . agin leave a week no longer as it will get to bitter, drain and bottle, to make the syrup add half of the tincture and half honey It is also good for sore throats.
