Description

Directions

• Add the berries, water, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon stick to a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, reduce the berry mixture to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove from the heat.
• Strain the berries from the juice. I use a cheesecloth and small mesh sieve over a bowl. Push the berries in the strainer down with the back of a wood spoon to remove any extra juice. Stir in the honey. The berry mixture should still be warm, not hot, just slightly warm.
• Now you have the perfect syrup for fighting off the sniffles this season. Keep in the fridge. Take 1 tablespoon daily by spoon or even mix it in a smoothie or with sparkling water.
