Medicinal Elderberry Syrup
Medicinal Elderberry Syrup
This isn't a pancake syrup recipe. It's just intended to be taken a spoonful a day to boost immunity. Whether or not it works I don't know, but I think it's worth trying, and it's a lot cheaper than buying elderberry syrup!
Equipment
- cheesecloth
Bring to a boil:
- 3 parts water
- 1 part dried elderberries I purchased mine from Amazon
Boil for at least 30 minutes to render the elderberries safe to consume. I usually just boil it for 1 hour. Then strain the elderberries through a cheesecloth, saving the liquid. Squeeze as much liquid out as possible. This is messy! Measure the extracted juice and mix as follows:
- 3 parts elderberry juice
- 1 part honey
