My son had started coughing last winter. I started my homemade onion syrup and gave him 2 teaspoons in the am and pm. His cough stopped The. Exact. Same. Day, mostly because we caught it early enough.

Leave on the counter for as little as 20 mins to start to see syrup. Or put it in the fridge overnight and it will have formed lots of syrup. Also, you can keep it on the counter the first night/day and then put it to the refrigerator.
Store in the fridge for 3-5 days with every new batch. Use as needed.
For kids:
((only for kids over the age of 2 years old since they cannot have honey. With kids 2 years old and under, use plain white sugar instead of honey.))
We take 2 teaspoons 3x a day. (If they hate the taste just have them pinch there nose and chase with a sip of orange or apple juice. Only a zip so you don't drown the syrup in juice and instead let the stomach and body absorb its natural benefits.
For adults:
Take 2 tablespoons 3x daily. I also add as a sweetener to my tea when Im sick to keeping pumping it in me.
Keep this syrup potent and fresh::
Potency is important. When someone is getting sick I would make a fresh batch. And it can be used for 3-5 days when stored in the fridge. That way you get the most anti-viral benefits from the fresh ingredients.
As for the taste
Okay, so if you do not like the flavor of onions or garlic, then no matter how much sugary stuff you add, the taste will take getting used too. If the taste is too strong I would just add more honey or sugar to your recipe. And try again.

Let's Get Started
Moms Witches Syrup Ingredients::
— 1 large onion, peeled and sliced thin in 1/8" slices.
— 3-8 garlic pieces (use what your tastes allow). Peeled and sliced thin. I also slam with the side of a knife to release its essence.
— Honey (organic, pure, no additives or other ingredients is best).
(( When making this for kids under 2 years old, So Not Use Honey. Instead use white sugar.))
— OR alternative to honey is pure white sugar or natural cane suagr. Approximately 1-2 cups.
In a glass container, add one of the onion slices, then top with 1-2 Tablespoons honey or sugar, add next onion slice and some of the garlic, top again with honey or sugar.
Keep alternating slices of onion plus the garlic and add honey. Layer until the jar is full to the rim, and top with more sugar to the very, very top. Seal air tight. The onions will 'melt' as the syrup forms and the jar won't be full to the top. We use the glass jar and lid with rubber seal. But a simple jar and tightly closing lid works great!
Syrup will begin to form within a few minutes, with a first spoonful ready in 20 mins.
We keep it in the refrigerator for the 3-5 days, and take the syrup cold (helps with the flavor). I also add to my herbal tea in the evenings during winter.
Here is what it looks like when The Moms Witches Cough Syrup is starting to form:

That ooey-gooey syrup is the "magic medicine" that forms. You will scoop up this syrup by the spoon full. Unless you like raw onion, don't eat the onions or garlic. ((I however do eat the juicy small oniony bits.))
Enjoy often in the cold season. We do!
