1.5 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup elderberries, 4 cup water
Strain the solids by pouring into a cheesecloth lined strainer or sieve. Carefully squeeze on the berry solids to get as much of the juice as possible. Pour the liquid back into the saucepan.
Stir in the 1 cup honey and warm the mix to ensure everything blends together thoroughly (see notes). Let cool slightly before pouring into a storage bottle.
1 cup honey
The elixir will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Take 1 tablespoon 3 times per day.
Notes
1. To make this elixir you will need a saucepan, strainer, clean piece of muslin (cheesecloth) and a glass jar with an airtight lid.2. Always go for fresh if possible, however you can use frozen or dried blueberries if fresh are unavailable.3. If you can't get fresh elderberries you can use the dried variety.
For thinner syrup stop heating as soon as the honey is combined
FOR A THICKER SYRUP continue to heat the honey and blueberry juice over medium-high heat for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
