Products used in this video:
Dried Elderberries:
Dried Rose Hips:
Swing-top Glass Bottles:

Recipe:
3/4 C. Dried Elderberries
3 Cinnamon Sticks
2 T. shredded fresh ginger
1 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 C. dried rose hips.
3 1/2 C. Water
1 C. Raw Honey

Put all ingredients except honey in a heavy bottom pot and bring to boil over medium high heat. As soon as boil begins, drop heat to simmer and cover. Simmer 45 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the product cool to the point it can be handled. Removed cinnamon sticks and mash contents with a spoon or masher. Press through fine mesh sieve, squeeze through cheese cloth or put through juicer.

Mix 1 cup of honey into the resulting juice. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few months. Take a spoonful daily or as needed.
