Everybody’s got the germs right now!
What do you reach for when trying to boost your immune system?
I keep these dried herbs on hand to make elderberry syrup. Syrup from the store can be weak and mostly sugar or preservatives. Making it at home, it doesn’t keep long without preservatives. So where’s the middle ground?
I made these dump jars just for that reason.
You take a jar, dump it in a small sauce pot. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Turn it down to simmer until reduced by half, then cool to around 100° and add your 1/2 cups of honey. Glass bottles or jars are best for storage in the fridge for 2 weeks.
This makes enough for my family for 1-2 weeks if everyone takes 10mL per day. Sometimes we double up.
