Help your immune system during these cold Maine months by learning how to make your very own Elderberry Syrup! Elderberry is a great way to help in preventing (or lessen symptoms and duration) of colds and flus. Many store bought remedies can be expensive and loaded with sugar.

You’ll learn how to boil down the elderberries to create roughly 2 cups of your own syrup you can take home. The cost of the class includes the ingredients from Kayla, but if you would like to make another batch at home you can purchase extra ingredients for $20.

Materials to bring to class:
• 8oz of Honey ( Local honey is best )
• Cooking utensils including a spoon or whisk to use for stirring. 
• A pot that can hold roughly 5 cups for a single batch before it gets rendered down
