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.
4. If you like thinner syrups you just need to heat the mixture with the honey until it is just combined. FOR A THICKER SYRUP continue to heat the honey and blueberry juice over medium-high heat for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
