Choose any of the herbs that are soothing, cooling, and astringent-or any that are used in preparing the cough syrups. To really soothe the throat, use balm of Gilead along with an aromatic herb. You can even flavor your cough drops with herbs. Lemon flavor can be made by using lemon balm, lemon thyme, or lemon verbena. Licorice mint makes an excellent-tasting cough drop, as it has a light licorice flavor. Color the drops using food coloring if desired.
