elderberry tincture

[BAP6123]

I thought Susun's story about the kids coughing for the jelly was funny, not kidding I just made some elderberry syrup and after my kids tasted it they all started to fake cough for more of it! HAHA it is pretty yummy stuff. ;)

My mom loves your channel! However, can you substitute the vodka for something else?

I didn't see it posted but I saw another clip of yours about the elderberries. Now after six weeks do you strain it through the cheesecloth and store it in a cool place? I also have some plants I need identification of. I will post a clip and if you can help I would appreciate it. Blessings

I have really been looking for information on tinctures and herbal remedies. My grandmother actually sent me a packet of elderberries and I wanted to make a tincture. Great video!

We have lots of elder growing around here and I came across lots of it today while I was out gathering some pine to make pine tea.

I want to make some elderberry tinctures for the winter but the strongest vodka that I have come across here [in North Wales] is 38% proof. Is it possible to make tinctures with that or is it too weak?

oh, this video turned out perfect. Monica has good timing. You have a really good show, Susan. You are ideal for the part of 'wisewoman'. You have this sweet smile. I aspire to be like you. We have a lot on our ranch in the northwest, usa. Thank you for making a record, and 'showing' me what to do with them!

great share, wasn't aware of the benefits, though have made a couple batches of elderflower' champagne ' this summer ....I totally agree with the asking side of things, makes sense though as my current knowledge I cant talk to the trees but ...I'm open to anything and sometimes find myself talking to various areas in my gardens

My house is absolutely surrounded by Elder. I don't use many berries so I leave them for the doves and pigeons who love them. There are more than I could ever possibly use. I did use a stick from one of the trees and I did ask her permission before I took it. Thanks for the video.

Elederberry is fantastic for fever. It helped me through the H1n1 virus. I want to grow this bush. Any ideas where I could get a couple of these?

@anyonefindAMERICA Elderberry grows in many hedgerows and along river banks. In Northern Ireland where I live, it is treated as a weed. It springs up everywhere. Obviously, the climate suits it here.
