Elderberry Immune Boost Syrup

We use this for chasing away colds and other nasty bugs by taking a couple of tablespoons twice or three times a day.

What you need:

1/2 cup organic dried elderberries
1 cinnamon stick
5 whole cloves
1 t dried ginger
4 1/4 cups water

2T raw honey

The method:

  • Add the elderberries and spices to the water in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Strain juice into a bowl through a sieve.
  • Mash the berries in the sieve.
  • Add honey when the juice has cooled.
  • Mix well.
  • Store in the fridge.

It will last a long time, but probably keep it to about a month. :)
