Honey has many health benefits and the shelf life is endless. Although I would not want to eat it, I have read that honey, that was still edible, has been found in ancient tombs. I keep local honey on hand all the time. I purchase it by the quart and keep some in a pint jar on the kitchen stove.
When I feel the first signs of a cold coming on, like the little tickle in my throat, I drink lemon juice with honey. It usually knocks it out. If it does continue, it will last only 3 days instead of the, as the old saying goes "3 days coming, 3 days with you, and 3 days leaving".
I buy lemons by the bag full, juice them and freeze by the tablespoon in ice trays.

If you do get stuck with a cold that will be lasting, in addition to drinking hot lemonade, it is also very helpful to use a Neti Pot and do the nasal rinse 2-3 times a day. That is so soothing.
Yes, this works. I also freeze the zest of the lemons to use in cakes.
