We definitely make a batch of Elderberry Syrup every year at this time to take as prevention and also more frequently when any crud comes on. Elderberry in particular is fantastic for halting and preventing the flu. We have not had flu in our family of 6 in about six years. And we never get flu shots!

One of my Turkish friends here gave me a old recipe for colds that’s thousands of years old. As a Canadian I didn’t believe it.

1 cup of tea =

½ cup heated milk
½ cup Lipton Tea or concentrated pot of tea
1/5 small tea spoon black pepper
1/5 small tea spoon salt

I tried it & it worked ;o)
