2013 International Herb of the Year: Elderberry!

The Fresh Pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy in Lenoir City, brings you The Herb of The Year: The Elderberry!

This herb provides some delicious and useful properties for your health and enjoyment.

The fresh flowers are high in sugar and are often times used to make wine or champagne. But the most common use is the berries. Just cut the stem right below the cluster and enjoy the berries immediately upon ripen or dry them for use later in healing teas or other homeopathic recipes.

You can also make them into syrup. Strain out the seeds and pulp, as if your making jelly. Add sugar, honey, or natural stevia to sweeten. You will have a delicious syrup for pancakes and more!
