Making Elberberry Syrup

One of the best cold and flu preventatives to have in your medicine cabinet this winter is elderberry syrup. Although there are plenty of terrific store-bought options at your local health food grocery, it's so easy to make at home, why not!?! (Especially when the ginger is as beautiful and fresh as that I found at my local organic co-op grocery.)

Elderberries:

• are soothing and anti-inflammatory to the entire system
• are high in vitamin C
• are a wonderful antioxidant
• possess antiviral properties to fight colds and flu
