Immune Boosting Elderberry Syrup

This is my first year making immune boosting elderberry syrup and I am hooked. Making your own batch is super easy and more tasty and affordable than store-bought brands. I love how you can customize your batch to meet your overall needs.

I have a child with an autoimmune disease so this immune boosting elderberry syrup recipe has been my go-to. I list the ingredients and directions below but keep in mind not everyone will have easy access to all these herbs ( They can be purchased on Etsy or even Amazon) So I also will link a small business that sells elderberry syrup kits on Etsy! This is perfect if you don’t want to purchase each ingredient separately.
