This elderberry syrup is not only delicious but it will certainly keep any cold or flu bug away! If you are already sick, it will shorten the duration of the illness. Many herbs require a break from taking on a regular basis, however elderberries can be taken consistently without the body acclimating to it or lessening the effects. Here is the recipe:
3 cups water
1/2 cup dried elderberries or 1 cup fresh
Bring the water and berries to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Smash the berries. Then strain through a mesh strainer into a bowl.
Add 1 cup raw honey. Stir well and keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
Give 1/2 to 1 teaspoon every hour to two hours at the first onset of cold or flu. You can take 1 teaspoon everyday as an immune booster and preventative.
