Time to start brewing our elderberry syrup now tha

Time to start brewing our elderberry syrup now that December is almost here! 🤧 Every flu season I brew this and give it to my family daily to help prevent/fight viruses.

Elderberry is an incredibly powerful plant that has anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to:

💪🏼* boost the immune system
💪🏼* fight against viruses
💪🏼* ease allergy symptoms
💪🏼* clear sinus infections

…and so much more!

My hubby and I take 1 tablespoon daily and my kiddos each get a teaspoon daily. If we do get sick, we up that dose to three times a day!

I’ve tried many different recipes over the years, but here’s the one that we’ve stuck with:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cups dried elderberries (I linked my
favorite above)
• 3 1/4 cup water
• 1 dried cinnamon stick
• 1 teaspoon dried cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
• 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup raw honey

Directions:

In a saucepan, bring all the ingredients except the honey to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the saucepan until the liquid has reduced by half (about 35-40 minutes)

Allow the liquid to cool and then drain it through a fine strainer. Be sure to press all the liquid out of the berries using the back of a spoon or a wooden spoon.

Add the raw honey and mix it well
add all the ingredients except the honey.

Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to six weeks (We usually go through ours in a month).
