Kathy’s Elderberry-Wolfberry Syrup

The Oily Home Companion

burchfieldelderberrywolfberrysyrupessentialoils.jpg

Women have been gathering for centuries around quilts, tables, committees, ball fields, and classes to fellowship, pass along wisdom and learn from one another. Elderberry Syrup making parties have swept the nation as did once frequented gatherings of scrapbooking side by side. 

It's something that OHC member Kathy Denson found herself offering her community, and she is so glad she did! 

"For us, it was coming together to do something so simple but sometimes for busy women, it is a lot less intimidating to try something new with a few friends by your side. Buying the items, splitting the cost, and making one big batch to divide among families just makes sense. We look forward to doing this again."

Kathy shared her Elderberry Syrup recipe and the best part? It is infused with Young Living's vitality oils and Ningxia Wolfberries for extra immune support! This is optional, of course, and if the wolfberries aren't in stock, increase the elderberries to compensate.
