🌿 Cottage Defense Super Syrup 🌿
Slow medicine. Strong roots. Local love.
This is how I make elderberry syrup in our home — slow-simmered for hours and finished with local raw honey from Mr. Hewett 🍯🤍
✨ What’s inside:
• Elderberries
• Distilled water
• Ceylon cinnamon sticks
• Star Anise
• Yarrow
• Mullein
• Nettle leaf + root
• Fresh organic ginger & garlic
• Echinacea
• Sweetened with Mr. Hewett’s local honey
Each plant brings something special — some help the body feel strong, some help support happy lungs, and others help warm and nourish from the inside out.
Everything gently simmers for about 3 hours, is strained through cheesecloth, then sweetened after cooling to protect all the goodness in the honey.
🌱 A gentle reminder:
Raw honey should not be given to babies under 1 year old due to the risk of botulism.
Keep refrigerated — good for up to 3 months.
Simple ingredients. Time-honored plants. Made with care 🤍
