Simpler Elderberry Syrup Recipe

[moldy]

@L.A.B. remember that some constituents in the elderberry may also 'pull' better with water than with alcohol (that's why you don't see marijuana tea - the constituents are thick and resinous and don't come out well in water. Their polarity requires oil or alcohol for extraction).

I don't have a good source for elderberries like I used to. I do however buy the elderberry gummies and keep them on hand. They have worked quite well whenever I start to feel a cold or flu coming on.

BTW my wife makes excellent elderberry jelly whenever we have had a supply of fresh elderberries. She also made a pie with some of the leftover juice that was quite yummy.
