As most of you might already know, Elderberry Syrup is a very common remedy come cold and flu season. Taken as a preventative and during times of sickness, Elderberry is for sure and excellent addition to your medicine cabinet. Research shows that Elderberry can reduce duration of cold/flu symptoms, helps support respiratory symptoms during illness and is an effective treatment to fight against the flu.

With my recipe, I have added not only elderberry.. but a few other beneficial herbs that will help support the body all year long.

This recipe is safe for adults and children (6 + months)

• Add all contents of package into a medium pot of 4 cups filtered water. *Note: water quality is important! If you are on city/town water, this contains chlorine among other chemicals. I highly recommend filtering water or purchasing filtered water especially for this recipe*
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes, or until liquid is reduced by about half.
• Remove from heat. Strain the berries and herbs with a fine mesh strainer into a glass bowl or large glass measuring cup. You should have about 2 cups of liquid.
• Let liquid cool slightly, then stir in 1 cup of honey - preferably local raw honey for the added health benefits.
• Pour your syrup (which is more of a juice/liquid consistency) into a glass bottle or jar with an airtight seal. Date, label and store in the fridge for up to 2 months.

*The "syrup" will not be your typical syrup consistency. This is due to not having any thickening agents unlike the store bought ones - which is a good thing! I prefer the more juice-like consistency and knowing that my medicine is free from unnecessary ingredients.
