I never saw real Elderberries till we went to North Fork, California.
Since all the commercial Elderberry Tea/Syrup has sugar and I did not find dried Elderberries in any stores. Thanks for Linda in North Fork to gave me her Elderberries two years ago first time so I could make it my own. She also told me how to make it too.
When I first tasted it I felt so healing earthy taste and I could tell my cough will be gone very quickly.
It is delicious and simple to make it. If you like you can add rice syrup and is made with dried elderberries, herbs and spices.
It is super immune-boosting.
