Hey-one more post. This is a record for me, four posts in one day.
I made a batch of horehound coughdrops last weekend and thought I'd share the recipe with you.
1 cup boiling water
3/4 dried horehound-I used 2 cups of fresh horehound
2 cups sugar
1/3 tsp. cream of tartar
Pour boiling water over horehound and let steep for 1/2 hour. Strain the infusion into a saucepan. Add the sugar and cream of tartar and stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then cook the mixture over high heat, without stirring until it reaches 300 f. or when drops form brittle threads in ice water. Butter a cookie sheet and pour mixture on the cookie sheet and let cool a bit, score with a knife and then when cool break along scored lines.
These coughdrops do not tast like candy. Horehound soothes sore throats and coughs.
