Indian (Canadian) Cough Syrup

This is an old Indian(canadian) remedy that I have used for 30 years and my mother used it longer than that. Buy a bunch of fresh beets. Cut them in half and place in a large shallow bowl. Sprinkle one half of a bag of brown sugar (2 lb.) over the beets and let sit overnight covered with plastic wrap. In the morning, drain off the juice (syrup) and then cover them again with the other pound of brown sugar, cover and let sit over night. Pour off the syrup and discard the beets. It's acutally quite pleasant to taste and will knock a cough dead in it's tracks. We call it Kick A-- Cough syrup and it never fails. Keep Refrigerated and it will last and last forever. Use as needed.
