A sweet, hoodoo liquid preparation made by combining herbs with sugar, honey, or another sweetener to preserve and deliver their properties. They’re often used for soothing purposes (like cough syrups) and are more palatable than tinctures, making them especially good for children or those who prefer a gentler taste. Syrups usually have a shorter shelf life than tinctures unless refrigerated or made with a high sugar content.
