The Essential Guide to Home Herbal Remedies was sent to me to review. Because I love anything homeopathic, I wanted to share one of the recipes with you!

Elderberry and Honey Syrup Anti-Flu Syrup

Both the elderberry flowers and berries are antiviral, which helps treat colds with fevers and flu-like symptoms. They're also anti-inflammatory and help fight bronchial infections and sinusitis. Elderberry juice is rich in Vitamin C (a natural immune booster).

Use at the start of a cold or fever, 1 teaspoon every 2-3 hours, letting it slowly dissolve in your mouth. The jar will stay fresh for about 6 months in the fridge after opening.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup + 2 T freshly pressed elderberry juice
10 oz organic liquid honey

Directions:

Heat elderberry juice, stirring with a wooden spoon, in a small saucepan. Add honey and simmer over low heat, for about 10 minutes. At this point it will reduce to a somewhat thick syrup, just keep stirring.

Pour hot syrup into a canning jar and seal immediately. Let cool before stirring the jar in the fridge.

Dried elderberry flowers can also be used to make a tea: put 1 teaspoon dried elder flowers in a cup and pour 3/4 cup boiling water over them. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes.

Caution: Never use raw elderberries.
