Elderberry Syrup Recipe

Immune Support Elderberry Syrup Recipe

• 4 cups water
• 1 cup dried elderberries or 2 cups fresh
• 2 sticks of cinnamon
• 2 thumb-sized pieces of tumeric peeled and diced
• ½ to 1 cup of local honey

Directions: Bring all ingredients, except honey to a simmer on the stove for about 15 minutes. Use a sieve to drain all the juice. Cool down until it is warm, but not hot to the touch (around 80-90 degrees F. Then stir in the honey. It can be stored in glass jars in the fridge for up to a 2-3 months.

Dose: Take ½ to 1 tablespoon daily for adults to prevent illness; or if the flu does strike, take ½ to 1 tablespoon every 2 to 3 hours, instead of once a day. Take until symptoms subside.
