Let's Make Elderberry Syrup

The benefits of Elderberry syrup are many! So, let’s make some yummy syrup. The elderberry plant has been long used in traditional medicine for pain relief, inflammation, and as a diuretic. Elderberry extract has been shown to significantly improve or reduce cold and flu symptoms, and it may help you get over your symptoms faster, when taken at the first sign of illness. It has also been shown in certain studies to reduce the duration of flu symptoms by an average of 4 days when taken within the first 48 hours of symptoms appearing.
