Herbal Remedies ~ Elderberry Syrup Make-n-Take

Harvest Greetings from Erica Stevens ~ This time of year is such a wonderful time of abundance, harvest, and preparation. I always feel so blessed. As part of our preparation in this season we will be using on of my favorite herbal allies, Elderberry! We will be making an Elderberry Syrup, which is one of the most esteemed cold and flu remedies in herbal medicine.

Elderberries are known for their fabulous immune-enhancing properties. They are also antiviral and have been known to reduce the duration of cold and flu symptoms to mere days. They are also excellent at clearing mucus from the sinuses and reducing inflammation in the respiratory system.

Combined with raw, local honey, you can make an excellent syrup that even the most finicky people in your life will be happy to take.

In this class, you will make a batch of Elderberry Syrup from start to finish. As well as have a basic understanding of how to make medicinal syrups that are honey based, which can be applied to other medicinal syrups such as hibiscus or ginger syrups. You will also leave with a copy of the Elderberry Syrup recipe as well as 2 other cough syrup recipes along with everything else you learned in the class for future reference.  Additional bottles of syrup will be available for purchase.
