    Elderberry Syrup

    One of my favorite home remedies to get me through the winter season is elderberry syrup. Any time I get a tickle in the throat or feel that I need a boost to the immune system, I take a spoonful of the syrup. It tastes so good kids fake a cough just to get another spoonful. Now you can make your very own syrup! Check out the online Elderberry Syrup Class. Don’t forget to join the private online forum afterwards to learn even more!
