2partsLicorice root powder
1partMarshmallow root powder
1partEchinacea root powder
1partGoldenseal root powder
Honey
Peppermint oilA few drops
CarobTo thicken
Instructions
Mix Licorice, Marshmallow, Echinacea, and Goldenseal together.
Mix enough honey in to form into a thick paste. Add a drop or two of pure Peppermint oil.
Add Carob and more Licorice root powder to thicken, if necessary. Knead “pill dough” until it has the consistency of bread dough (smooth and elastic, not sticky).
Keep adding Carob (or Cocoa) until desired consistency is reached. Roll into pill size balls.
Notes
These will keep for months in the refrigerator. They should taste good, a bit like a peppermint drop, and feel soothing to the throat.Use only organically grown Goldenseal. It is not necessary to add the Goldenseal if infection is not present; i.e. if making these balls for irritation and soreness rather than for infection.
