- 2 cups filtered water
- 1 cup dried elderberries
- 1 tbsp cinnamon chips or 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp dried or fresh, chopped ginger
- 1 tsp dried, chopped licorice

Combine in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to a simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and strain out the herbs completely, storing the syrup in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.
