Hey Y'all!
We took the elderberries we picked and made elderberry syrup. This is a natural herbal medicine to prevent and use during cold and flu. They are full of all kinds of vitamins A, B, C, antioxidants, dietary fiber, and so many other good properties. This plant has been used since ancient times. Just be careful because the berries and stems can be toxic for those who don't know what they are doing.
We used 5 cups elderberries/5 cups water
Boiled and then simmered for 25-30 minutes.
We put them through a sieve and then a fine strainer to get out any remaining berries.
I put them back on the stove to add in some local honey and cinnamon and cloves.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and try to find some elderberries to make your own cold and flu syrup!
Have a great day!!!
