Elderberry Syrup Recipe - Tis the Season for Cold and Flu

'Tis the season for flu and colds, so let’s talk about a natural remedy I use for my family: homemade elderberry syrup. This immune-boosting powerhouse is known for helping the body fight off colds and flu, but that’s not all. Here are some other amazing benefits:  

 

• Rich in antioxidants: Protects your body from free radicals and supports overall wellness.
• Reduces inflammation: Helps soothe discomfort and promotes recovery.
• Supports heart health: May help improve cholesterol levels and support a healthy heart.
• Eases cold symptoms: Can shorten the duration and intensity of colds.
• Promotes healthy skin: Its antioxidants may also contribute to glowing, youthful skin.

Elderberry syrup is a simple, natural addition to your wellness routine. Have you tried it yet? If so what is your experience?  I found myself making some this week to prepare for what is to come, and wanted to share my recipe:
