Elderberry Blue Syrup
This elixir is something we heavily rely upon during the cold and flu season. Elderberries are well-known for their immune boosting properties. Blueberries make this more palatable for kids and pack an anti-oxidant punch! My kids each get a Tablespoon or so of this a day. I swear by it! our household is so much healthier because of it.
