Use this quick and easy recipe to get your self acquainted with making your own herbal remedies. Elderberry (from native Elder plants) has long been revered as a powerful herbal ally who is really great at facilitating your body's immune response.

I have been giving my children seasonal doses of elderberry for about 4 or 5 years now and have noticed a significant decrease in the frequency and severity of seasonal ickies.

My favorite way to enjoy elderberry is with a rich syrup. There are many variations as far as the types of herbs you can integrate in this immune-boosting, palatable syrup. I have combined a few of my favorites but feel free to experiment and add in some anise, nettles, vanilla, astragalus, or wild cherry bark just to name a few.

All you need to do is empty contents into a small saucepan, add 2 cups spring or distilled water, boil over medium-high heat until liquid reduces by half. Strain out herbs by pouring over a wire mesh sieve or cheesecloth, back into mason jar. Add honey (preferably raw and local!) to liquid until jar is approx. 3/4 full, stir to completely combine. (Optional: for longer shelf life, top off jar with brandy or apple cider vinegar.)

Enjoy whenever you need a little boost or crave a taste! It's delicious stirred into teas or sparkling water(our fave!...such a beautiful color!)

For preventative support - enjoy 1 tsp. daily

During those ickies: 1Tbs every few hours as needed.

Prepared syrup should be enjoyed within 2-3 months for best quality and taste.

Dried Herbs will keep in sealed mason jar away from light and heat for 2-3 years but are best prepared within 1 year of purchase.
