How To Make Elderberry Cough Syrup

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has been used medicinally for hundreds of years to treat a wide variety of illnesses. I use the fresh berries in jams, jellies or juice and the dried berries I make syrup or gummies. Dried berries stored in an air tight container, out of sunlight will last for several years. The fresh berries will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
