We harvested our first round of Elderberries today and Rhonda made her first batch of ‘Elderberry Tincture’. She put some cloves and a couple cinnamon sticks. Now it just needs to set for about 6 weeks in a dark, cool spot. when it comes time to take it or administer it to the grandkids for the medicinal purposes for which it was made, you add honey and hot water. The hot water dissipates the alcohol and the honey makes it taste better . . . Good Job, babe.
