SYRUPS

ELDERBERRY SYRUP

Elderberry has long been hailed for its immune-boosting properties, and it tastes delicious! It can be taken daily, as a preventative, or more often during times of illness. Made with dried organic or responsibly wildcrafted elderberries & elderflowers, ginger root (fresh or dried), Cinnamon, Clove & raw local honey. We have planted elderberry bushes here at Cottonboro Farm, and I am hoping to be able to offer our own FRESH elderberry syrup eventually (Sadly, not happening this year. Berries didn’t develop.)

Bottled Syrup:

4 oz. $12-$14

8 oz. $20-$24

(Prices vary due to cost of elderberries & local honey.)

Elderberry Syrup Kit:

Great to have on hand to make yourself when you feel your immune system needs a boost! Simply add water, simmer, strain and add honey. Comes in a heat-sealed zip-lock bag for air-tight storage. Contains dried elderberries, ginger, cinnamon and clove.

3.5 oz. Bag / $15

Wild Cherry Cough & Cold Syrup (9/14/23 – New batch ready to go made with FRESH wild cherries picked from our own trees!)

Made with fresh wild cherries from our own trees and dried wild cherry bark. Also includes supportive herbs that may help sooth the respiratory tract, expel mucus & calm spasmodic coughs. Includes ginger root, licorice root, hyssop, slippery elm, marshmallow root, sweet cinnamon, elecampane & horehound. Honey added after infusing. May be used for dry or wet coughs.

Glass Amber Bottle: 8 oz. $20.00 / 4 oz. $12.00

Refrigerate for longer shelf life. Add a touch of good quality brandy for additional benefits and as a preservative if you like.

ElderCherry Cough & Cold Syrup (Currently Sold Out)

This syrup is the same recipe as the Wild Cherry Cough Syrup (above) I make in the fall, with a couple of exceptions. Since the wild cherries are not available, I use dried elderberry, which give the added benefit of strengthening your immune system, although the taste will be a bit different. I still use the wild cherry bark, which is imperative for helping to ease that cough! I’ve also added linden leaf and flower to the recipe due to it’s ability to help ease sore throats, fevers and respiratory issues. This current batch contains a combination of fresh & dried ginger & raw local and Grade A honey.

Available in three sizes:

Glass Amber Cone Cap Bottles: 16 oz. $32.00 / 8 oz. $20.00 / 4 oz. $12.00

FIRE CIDER (Currently Sold Out! Fresh batch coming this fall!)

This infused raw apple cider vinegar tonic has been depended on for ages to provide vitamins and minerals during the winter months or times of weakness and fatigue. I make it in the fall, which is the best time to harvest many of the herbs and dig up the roots needed for the recipe.

Fire Cider is so effective, it created quite a stir for Rosemary Gladstar, to whom the original recipe is attributed to. When a start-up company trademarked the name and began legal proceeding to keep other herbalists from using it, Rosemary fought hard in court for the natural health community’s right to sell the product and use the name. You can read more about Fire Cider’s history and Rosemary’s fight here. Your support of small businesses like mine and community herbalists truly does make a difference.

The recipe varies each year depending on what’s available to harvest. The current batch contains Horseradish, Onion, Garlic, Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Turmeric Root, Peppercorns, Dandelion Root, Yellow Dock Root, Burdock Root, Astragalus, Lemon & Rosemary Leaf infused in raw apple cider vinegar with raw honey added.

Sunscreen (SOLD OUT!)

This sunscreen provides the needed protection against UVA and UVB sun rays without harsh chemicals, while keeping your skin lubricated and moisturized at the same time. Goes on slightly white, but body heat and sun will melt it into your skin quickly. The non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide, as well as some of the protection values in the oils, will give this sunscreen an SPF of at least 20, and likely higher. Peppermint oil has the added benefit of repelling insects.

Contains Coconut Oil (SPF8), Sweet Almond Oil (SPF5), Beeswax, Shea Butter (SPF5), Non-nano, uncoated Zinc Oxide (20% of product for 20 SPF), Vitamin E and pure Peppermint Essential Oil.

$12.00 / 2 oz. Jar

Love the Skin You’re In Cream

Thick, soothing cream for dry, itchy skin patches, such as eczema and psoriasis, rashes, sunburn and irritated areas. Great to use as an aftershave cream. This cream may also be used as a face cream for acne or rosacea. (Test a small area first to see how your skin responds to it.) Because this cream is made with babassu oil, it is a good cream for those who are allergic to coconut oil. (If you use a cream and your skin just keeps getting drier and drier – it’s a good sign you are having a reaction to the coconut oil in it! Check the label.)

Contains Dandelion infused Sweet Almond Oil, Rosemary hydrosol, Aloe Vera Gel, Water, Babassu, Borage, Jojoba & Sesame Oils, Beeswax and Vitamin E. Added essential oils are Bergamot, German (Blue) Chamomile, Helichrysum, Frankincense & Manuka.
