This elderberry syrup is very effective in getting rid of colds and flu. It is simple to make and works great as a homemade cough syrup too!
Begin making your elderberry syrup by placing water, plantain, elderflowers, and elderberries in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down and let simmer for fifteen minutes.
Adults, use 1 tablespoon of elderberry syrup every 2-3 hours. For children under six, use 1 teaspoon every 2-3 hours.
Take 1 teaspoon daily
Store your syrup in a labeled glass jar in the refrigerator. It keeps for about 5 months (the honey acts as a natural preservative).
