Natural Throat Jellies

The choking hazard of throat lozenges are obviously not an option when your toddler has a sore throat. And I doubt they would enjoy sipping on med-lemon or ginger tea. So what is a parent to do? My sister-in-law comes to the rescue with these ingenious throat jellies. The rate at which my niece gobbles them up is proof that they are a winner  – one that the whole family can enjoy too.

The proof is in the pudding right? Well, this pudding boasts cold-fighting, throat-soothing ingredients. Honey, lemon and fresh ginger is a well-known remedy for cold symptoms. Whip ’em up into a jelly, and you have a healing dessert. I never thought I’d use the words “healing” and “dessert” in the same sentence, but who’s complaining?

Recipe Variations & Substitutions

You can find all of the ingredients at most grocery stores. Gelatine is usually in the baking aisle. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you can use agar agar powder as a substitute for gelatin. You can find raw honey at Dischem or Faithful to Nature.
