It was so much fun picking elderberries with my kids. We made jars of this for winter and some elderberry desserts too. Totally worth it! (You can also eat this on pancakes, put in herbal tea, add to warm milk or stir into yogurt if desired.)
Elderberry Cold, Cough and Flu Syrup
2 cups elderberries, washed de-stemmed
1 inch fresh ginger
3 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup of water
Bring all the above to a slight boil and simmer for 30 minutes to reduce. Strain through a fine strainer into a glass jar. Add 1 part juice to 1 part raw local honey and stir to dissolve. 1/2 to 1 tsp for children and 1/2 to 1 TBS for adults. Take as needed.
