Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup dried elderberries (1 cup for syrup)

• 4 cups water (2 cups for syrup)

• Raw honey (to taste)

Instructions

1. Simmer the Elderberries
Add your elderberries and water to a pot with a lid. Bring to a near boil, then immediately reduce the heat and let it simmer. For tea, simmer for 30 minutes. For a syrup, let it go for 45 minutes to an hour to concentrate the benefits.

2. Mash the Berries
Once done simmering, remove from heat and gently mash the berries with a spoon to release their medicinal compounds.

3. Strain and Squeeze
Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer. Press or squeeze thoroughly to extract every drop of liquid.

4. Add Honey
While still warm (not hot), stir in raw honey to taste. Add enough to balance the tartness of the berries and achieve your desired consistency.

Note: For a thicker syrup, use 1 cup elderberries, 2 cups water, and a generous amount of honey. This version can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or frozen for longer shelf life.

Why Use Elderberry Elixir?
Elderberries are rich in flavonoids and antioxidants known to boost immune function, reduce the severity of colds and flus, and support a healthy fever response. They may also relieve upper respiratory symptoms, ease inflammation, and support joint and eye health.
