Let’s make elderberry syrup! 🍯

Black Elderberries (Sambucus Nigra) on their own have been used for centuries to combat colds, fevers, and the flu. They are chock full of antioxidants and also contain vitamins A, B, and quite a bit of vitamin C. They also have flavonoids (dark plant pigment compounds) that are known to help boost the immune system. So, when you take elderberry syrup and add honey (anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and soothing to irritated tissues,) cinnamon (contains polyphenol antioxidants,) rosemary (anti-microbial, antioxidant,) ginger root (contains the active substance Gingerol that is effective at fighting bacteria,) cloves (an expectorant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory,) and lemon (high in vitamin C, B6, thiamin, riboflavin, anti-bacterial) you have a very tasty syrup that’s wonderful for your immune system!
