Elderberry Juice/Decoction

elderberry1

I got a text message from my husband saying he was getting sick. We all know that feeling; the scratch in your throat, the slight cough that is getting worse with each passing hour, a headache that just won’t quit.  My husband is a supply teacher and often the bugs he picks up are super sized since he’s around so many kiddos.

Once I got the message I went straight to my herbal kitchen.  While I do have elderberry syrup in the fridge, I decided that an extra dose of elderberry’s healing powers with a strong decoction (or juice) wouldn’t hurt.  Here’s what I did.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of water
  • ½ cup of dried organic elderberries (1 cup fresh if you have access)
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 clove buds
  • 1 tsp dried/powered ginger (I didn’t have ginger root)
