Hope it brings shalom,healing,and comfort like it has for my family for the last 4 generations! Light and Life…

 Elderberry Syrup Recipe

Whatcha Need:

 • 1 cup dried elderberries (or 2 cups fresh, destemmed)

 • 4 cups water

 • 1–2 cinnamon sticks

 • 3–4 slices fresh ginger root (or 1 tsp dried ginger)

 • 3–4 whole cloves (optional)

 • 1 cup raw honey (adjust for sweetness)

How it’s Done:

 1. Combine elderberries,water, cinnamon,ginger, and cloves in a saucepan.

 • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 45–60 minutes, uncovered, until liquid reduces by about half.

 2. Mash berries gently with a spoon, then pour through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl.

 

 3.Let liquid cool until just warm. Stir in raw honey (to preserve its enzymes and benefits).

 4. Pour syrup into a glass jar or bottle. Refrigerate. Keeps for 4–6 weeks.

Dosage: 

 • Adults: 1 tablespoon daily (up to 3-4 daily if you feel a cold coming on).

 • Kids (over 1 year old): 1 teaspoon daily(however never give honey to children under 1 year.)

For a little extra sumthin sumthin I like to add orange peel,a few star anise,for optional healing🤟🏾…
