  I’ve been making homemade Elderberry Syrup for many years now because it’s full of immune boosting vitamins and antioxidants. I like to use homemade remedies when I can because I feel they are better for the health of my family. Taking a dose of homemade Elderberry Syrup every morning is a great way to naturally ward off sickness during cold and flu season.

  I realized this year that Elderberry Syrup can be made quicker in the Instant Pot and so I thought I would give it a try to see what I thought. It was great! I love any excuse to use my Instant Pot and it cooked and boiled down quicker than the stove-top method. Give it a try. I know you’ll LOVE it. 🙂

Standard Dose for Cold and Flu Prevention:

1 tsp daily for kids and 1 tbsp daily for adults

If sick, take the above dose every 2-3 hours as needed.
