To make herbal syrup for colds at home, you will need the following ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup dried elderberries
1 cinnamon stick
1 slice fresh ginger
1 whole clove
Instructions:
In a small saucepan, bring the water, honey, elderberries, cinnamon stick, ginger, and clove to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by about half.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle. Discard the solids.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature, then seal the jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator.
To use the syrup, take 1-2 tablespoons every 2-3 hours as needed to help relieve cold symptoms. This syrup can be taken by adults and children over the age of 1 year.
Note: This syrup is intended to help relieve the symptoms of a cold and should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment. If your symptoms are severe or do not improve, consult a healthcare professional.
