Flattop Mountain Cough Syrup The Velvet Throat Soother: A Gourmet Approach to Relief
Forget the medicinal aftertaste of the grocery store aisle. At Flattop Mountain Herbs, we believe a cough syrup should be as delightful to the palate as it is powerful for the chest. We’ve combined the deep, dark richness of Molasses and Honey with the sophisticated brightness of Fabbri Cherries and Ginger to create a syrup that feels like a decadent treat but works like a mountain remedy. This isn't just a syrup; it’s a carefully crafted botanical infusion designed to coat, calm, and clear your airways with every velvet spoonful.

The Syrup Ritual: Recipe & Bottling
A thick, rich blend that stays where it's needed most.
The "Blue Ridge Velvet" Recipe:
½ cup of Glycerin-Tinctured Mullein (Alcohol-free) See recipe for Glycerin Tinctured Mullein
½ cup of Raw Organic Honey
¼ cup of Molasses (Unsulfured)
1/8 cup of Fabbri Amarena Cherries with syrup (use syrup only)
1/8 cup of Fabbri Ginger with Syrup
1 tablespoon Coconut Palm Sugar
2 drops Lemon Essential Oil
2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Realized Yield: Approximately 12–13 oz of finished syrup.
Our Artisanal Process:
The Base Blend: In a glass mixing bowl, combine the Honey, Molasses, Cherry syrup, Ginger syrup, and Mullein glycerin. Stir gently until the mixture is uniform.
The Sweetener: Add the coconut palm or brown sugar and whisk until the granules have completely dissolved into the thick base.
The Essential Finish: Add the Lemon and Peppermint essential oils along with the vanilla. Stir thoroughly to ensure the oils are evenly distributed throughout the heavy syrup.
The Bottling: Using a small funnel pour the syrup into small 2 oz or 4 oz amber glass bottles. Use amber or cobalt glass to protect the essential oils from light. Secure the caps tightly and label with the date.
How to Use:
Shake well before use. Adults take one tablespoon as needed; children (over age one) take one teaspoon. Store in a cool, dark cupboard for up to six months. This recipe provides a great night time cough relief .
Why It Works: The Sophisticated Synergy
Our syrup is built on a foundation of "coating and clearing," addressing both irritation and congestion.
Glycerin-Tinctured Mullein: Provides core respiratory support to soothe the lungs and thin out stubborn mucus without the use of alcohol.
The "Clear & Calm" Duo:Lemon and Peppermint Essential Oils provide a dual-action cooling effect, helping to open airways and refresh the throat.
The Rich Base (Honey & Molasses): These create a "slow-slide" texture that coats the throat better than thin, water-based syrups. Honey is a world-renowned natural cough suppressant.
Fabbri Cherry & Ginger: The cherries provide a sophisticated fruit profile while the ginger syrup offers warming, anti-inflammatory properties to settle the chest and stomach.
