Elderberry Honey (Immune Tonic)
Infused honey makes for a delicious treat, carrying its sweet and nourishing immune benefits to the body. Drizzle on top of pancakes, granola, or anything else you so choose!
Ingredients:
Elderberries
Local raw honey
Directions:
Fill a jar 1/4-1/2 full with dried elderberries and then fill with honey.
Poke with a clean knife or chopstick to mix and remove any air bubbles. Let mixture infuse for a week to a month, depending on preferred strength, tasting occasionally until it is perfectly suited to your taste buds.
Strain if desired, but the elderberries should soften up a bit in the honey and can be left in if you so choose!
Notes:
This recipe can also be adapted to add other herbs of your choice, ie garlic, rosemary, thyme, horseradish, lemon peel etc
