Mixing Up Elixir
Over the years I have purchased elderberry syrup from organic health stores. This year, however, is my first year to make my own elixir. While doing more research, I have discovered that the "elixir" works better, as it is not heated like the syrup is. Thankfully, the mail was delivered yesterday, and my elderberries arrived.
I do not have access to fresh elderberries here, so I purchased organic dried elderberries. I located a recipe online, and used raw honey.
I'll let you know how this recipe works. You can take it as a preventative, as well as at the onset of illness. There are many more recipes online for such elixirs, than in books.

Do let us know . Making it fresh sounds like a great idea.
I think I'd make pancake syrup as those berries look mighty tasty!
