Origin

Elderberry is both a helpful preventative when viruses are going around but as an antiviral for use during active illness. Unlike echinacea, it should not pose problems for people with autoimmune disorders. Elderberry is helpful for clearing upper respiratory congestion and infection, particularly when taken as a hot tea.

In recent years, Elderberry Syrup has been gaining in popularity here in the U.S. too and can be found in many health food stores. But why spend a lot of money, if it is so easy and fun to make in your own kitchen? All you need is:

½ cup of dried elderberries
3 cups of spring water
½ -1 cup of local honey

In a saucepan, bring the elderberries and water to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover and let simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Strain the liquid, making sure you mash the berries in order to get every drop of the decoction. Add the honey to the warm liquid and fill in a glass bottle. The syrup will keep in the fridge for 3 months. Take 1-3 Tbsp per day for as a preventative remedy.
