Elderberry Syrup Tutorial

I'm finally getting around to doing the Elderberry Syrup Tutorial.   I love Elderberry Syrup, it's a great immune booster, plus it's great on pancakes!!   It is suggested to take 1 tsp daily from October to April and if sick take 3 tsp. a day.   If you suspect you have H1N1 then you may want to stop the Elderberry because some research suggests that it could cause a cytokine storm.  Just stop the use of Elderberry and start again when you are well.
Ok now to the Tutorial.
You will need:  2 oz of elderberries(1/2 cup), 1 cup of water, 1 cup of honey, a pot and a fine strainer, spoon and jar.

 Put the water and the elderberries in a pot.   Bring to a boil.

 Then let it simmer for about 20 mins.  You want to reduce the water by half.

 Sit the strainer over another container and pour the mixture in the strainer.

 With a spoon mash the elderberries down to get all the juice out.

 Next pour in the honey and mix well.

 Pour into a jar and keep in the fridge for about a month.

Enjoy!
