Ingredients

3 parts echinacea root, preferably fresh (root should be 3 years old before harvesting)

2 parts blue elderberries, fresh or dried

2 parts rose hips

1 part fresh or frozen blackberries

1 part fresh or frozen raspberries

1 part grated fresh ginger root

1 part sliced fresh organic orange

4 parts brandy (I use Blackberry Brandy)

Directions

Blend all but the brandy in a blender.

Make a tincture by adding the brandy and allowing it to sit in a cool dry place for at least a week.

Strain

To use: Take 1 tablespoon 1-5 times per day as needed.

***************************************

Note: I use 1 cup per part.

Note # 2: the amount comsumed is very small. however it is a good idea to boil fresh elderberries and cool before using in this recipe.

I thought it was slightly dangerous to consume elderberry without them being first subject to heat because of a toxin in the berry which needs heat to get rid of it?
