How to make Elderberry syrup | Sambucus Nigra, Sambucol
This syrup is SO expensive in stores and online, but if you simply purchase the dried berries yourself, you could save around $100 and make a whole lot more. This recipes is great for kids and adults. It's delicious, fights candida, strengthens your immune system, and contributes to overall health. It's like a liquid multivitamin/multi-mineral supplement. Seriously. All you need is:
1/2 cup Dried Elderberries: http://amzn.to/1UdHSeW or http://amzn.to/1TXlZVg (the big 1lb bag is what I have)
1 cup of Honey: http://amzn.to/20SRRuX
OR Agave syrup: http://amzn.to/1TXib53
4 cups of water
Optional Ingredient:
1 inch of fresh Ginger
1/4 tsp of dried cloves
1 cinnamon stick
Bring water to a boil and add all ingredients (minus the honey) and simmer for at least 30 minutes. A low simmer, you don't want to burn it. Strain it through a mesh strainer (http://amzn.to/25Ayg9A) or a cheesecloth (http://amzn.to/1UdIX6y), let it cool for a couple of minutes and then mix in your honey.
Store it in mason jars or amber glass bottles and enjoy a tablespoon everyday!

I hope you like this video and try this syrup at home. Please don't spend all of your hard-earned money one one bottle that will only last a few weeks when you can buy a bag of the berries and make several bottles of your own!
*if you are avoiding sugar, just omit the honey completely and enjoy it plain, or with natural stevia*
