"A glass" isn't a useful unit of measurement when the size of glasses varies so widely. Six ounces is a very different ratio of acid to honey than twelve - which would use an entire jar of honey! Do any of these recipes have any guidelines on a ballpark measurement of honey to use, or are there historical resources documenting what size glass container they were most likely using?
I well remember when LSU's Jamarcus Russell became the #1 pick in the NFL draft. And promptly destroyed his career because of his addiction to something called "Purple Drank" -- a mixture of high-potency, codeine-laced cough syrup, with Jolly Ranchers dissolved in it. I bring that up when people ask me about commercial cough syrups.
Honey & Lemon was the first thing everyone used when I was a kid. Funny how quickly it has become a 'folk recipe' - one that required allopathic pharmaceutical approval before it became real.
Too bad generations are getting further away from a remedy that is safe and effective and closer to pharmaceuticals that are just the opposite. No wonder I'm seeing fewer and fewer bees!
What is the measurement of the glass?
Unfortunately, Bayer/Monsanto are killing off all the honeybees with their many chemicals.
If we don't stop them, we aren't going to have anymore honey.
