Working on my combo Elderberry/Wild Cherry Syrup today.  It also contains ginger root, cinnamon and cloves.  Sure wish I could upload the aroma.  It smells wonderful in here!

I’ll let it simmer until it’s reduced by half, then mix with raw honey and a little brandy.   Yummiest medicine you can find!  The leftover cherries are “getting happy”….

They skipped the other steps and went right into the brandy to infuse for a while.  The holidays will be here before we know it after all!

Well, it’s time to gear up for that cough that seems to go with cooler weather and the need to start heating the home.  The Wild Cherry trees are full of fruit this year, which excited me, as there were absolutely NONE to be had last year at all!  While the bark contains the medicinal properties, the berries taste great, so I love to use them in my syrup.  Thinking I may try an elderberry/wild cherry combo this year…..

Believe it or not, it’s still summer here in New England!   Fall was trying to make an entrance, and there’s some color in the trees, but the days have been HOT and we are still swimming!  I spend a lot of time devoted to herbal teas, but have failed to mention how refreshing and healthy infused waters can be.  Today, I am enjoying some nice cool water infused with lemon and lime.  Delicious!
