Homemade Elderberry Syrup for Immune Support

In a saucepan, combine the rehydrated elderberries, water, cinnamon stick, and sliced ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let this mixture simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by about half.

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Once cooled, strain the liquid into a clean jar or bottle, discarding the elderberries and other solids.

Stir in the local organic raw honey. It’s important to wait until the mixture has cooled before adding the honey, as boiling honey can destroy its beneficial enzymes.

Store your syrup in the fridge, and take a tablespoon daily for immune support.

• Preserving Honey’s Benefits: Always add honey after the liquid has cooled to preserve its beneficial enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.
• Organic Ingredients: Whenever possible, choose organic elderberries, ginger, and honey. This ensures you’re getting the purest ingredients, free from pesticides or additives.

While elderberry syrup is wonderful for immune health, I also recommend a few of my herbal tinctures for women's hormone and reproductive health, digestive support, and sleep:

• Soothe : Designed to regulate hormones, support cycle regularity, and prevent PMS symptoms. It’s the perfect companion for women looking to balance their hormones naturally.
• Crampy : If you need immediate relief from menstrual cramps, this tincture works quickly to ease discomfort.
• Bitters : Great for gut health and liver detoxification, bitters can help improve digestion and support nutrient absorption.
• Sleepy : For those nights when sleep seems out of reach, Sleepy promotes restful sleep and supports nervous system health.
