ELDERBERRY SYRUP supports immune system

"Elderberry Syrup -Master Herbalist Rosemary Gladstar's Recipe
What you need:
1 cup fresh or 1/2 cup dried elderberries
3 cups water
1 cup raw local honey
Glass jar with lid

Steps:
1. Heat the berries and water to a boil, then reduce to simmer for
30-45 minuets.
2. Mash the berries, strain, and add 1 cup of honey. I add a half cup
of the purple liquid to a measuring cup, then pour in honey until the
total volume is 1 1/2 cups. Then stir to mix well, and add to the rest
of the reserved liquid.
3. Bottle and store. Keeps in the refrigerator for 2-3 months.
4. Enjoy a tablespoon daily to keep the immune system strong. If sick,
take more often at first signs of the flu. If you drink peppermint tea
along with it, you increase the fighting punch!"
