Syrups
Syrups are generally decoctions that have had Sugar or Honey added both to preserve them for longer keeping, and to make them more palatable. The creation of a syrup follows that for making a Decoction, excepting that once strained and clarified, a sufficient amount of Honey or Sugar is added which is then boiled with the decoction until dissolved and thickened, removing the scum as it rises.

Syrups can be made from any decoction; however, they are most appropriate for Lung medicines and Tonic formula, especially when Honey is added. Nevertheless, various Syrups for different conditions were prepared and kept ready at the Apothecaries.

Syrups are a good way of keeping decoctions and are preferred by children and 'delicate' people as their taste is more agreeable.
