Homemade Violet Syrup

Violets are high in vitamin C and make a great natural cough syrup. It has been shown that it works as good or better than most over the counter cough medicines and it very easy to do.

If you don't have enough of this wild medicinal plant to make syrup you can make violet tea!

Simply pour 2 cups hot water over 2 teaspoons violet flowers and steep for 10 minutes.

Wild violets are also great for skin conditions including bruising, cradle cap, psoriasis and acne. Use the tea as a compress!
