I had an elderberry syrup making party last year! Ended up costing 5 bucks per person and it was a ton of fun! Thanks for making this video!

I love that you are spreading information about herbal or “food” medicine!! You can also make gummies from the syrup by adding some gelatin! Great for kids! ❤️🌱🌿🍃

You can also cook this in an Instant pot. Add all the ingredients Jess recommends, and then set your instant pot to 9 minutes. After it beeps, you can do a quick release and then follow her directions from there. I've done that several times and it comes out great. Enjoy!!

I've made this for years. Grandma's recipe. She didn't use ginger, but I like to. The rose hips come from the wild roses that grow in our woods.

We add straight syrup to unsweetened iced tea. We let everyone add what they want to their own glass, and I am sure its more than a spoonful. No one thinks of it as medicine, but as a treat. It's that good.

I can say hands down Elderberry is the very best flu / cold prevention and remedy. A few years ago we were hit by the flu. I was the only one that consistently took it. Needless to say I cared for 5 family members with flu and was Blessed not to get it. I use the same recipe as Jess,its just good stuff !!

Can you tell me the benefits of elder berry syrup

@christianmilton3790 Жыл бұрын

Where would I get dried elder berry

@amomto4 Жыл бұрын

@christian milton you can get it online, i used to order mine from mountain rose herb company, there are several places that sell it though. I dont buy it anymore because I've planted elderberry bushes. Elderberry syrup boosts the immune system and helps fight illness, it can be argued that taking it daily helps ward off illness. We typically take it daily from October to March when there seems to be lots of stuff going around, and only take it when fighting something the rest of the year.

i never had coughs or colds as a kid but we foraged big time and we had elderflower syrup then elderberry syrup later in the year and rose hip syrup for viatmin c. we would take them straight off a spoon if we were not feeling our best drink them as cordials diluted with water or lemonade and if they got too thick in the pan they were syrup for icecream sundaes! I have not seen them since leaving Scotland but I never thought of looking for the dried ones here in Canada. I will need to look into it for sure.Thanks for the tutorial and bringing back happy memories.

Oil of oregano is a great addition for its antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. Add drops to the syrup and a tasty way to take it is 3 tbsb added to hot water and a wedge of lemon for a wonderful warming tea

The essential oil???

@saltycat662 2 жыл бұрын

@@Mimi33948 No, the oil you can consume. If you look at it on Amazon, it comes in a dropper and it's amazing stuff! It heals the mouth and helps fight off cavities too. It's also good for the blood and digestion and it fights off bad breath and body odor. Even if I sweat, I don't get stinky! You can make it at home. I mix 2 -3 drops in some almond milk because I have a sensitive stomach and it works like a charm.

Hi codeN, if we don't have oragno oil can we add dried oragno in it when we boil or steep the elderberries? Would dried oragno gives the same benefits as oragno oil?

I will be getting cuttings from these plants and I have a few friends who are wanting to have these in their yard as well. I'm very excited about expanding these plants, I understand their benefits but haven't really been serious about using them. I watched a video by OG with Doug and Stacy they were getting new starts planted around their chicken coop. So thank you again for sharing your life with us, God bless dear and your family💞
