This elderberry syrup not only helps if you’re sick but also aids in preventing illness. Enjoy a spoonful every day in the winter for a natural immunity boost. It has a delicious, nostalgic taste, similar to childhood cough syrup.
1. In a large pot, bring the elderberries, water, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 30-45 minutes.
3. Allow the liquid to cool, and then drain the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
4. Press all liquid out of the berries using the back of a wooden spoon.
5. Add the raw honey and mix well. Shaking helps it dissolve.
6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two months.
7. Enjoy a spoonful a day for a natural delicious immunity boost!
