Elderberry Cough Syrup – How To Guide

Free recipe download! This is a fantastic sugar-free and alcohol-free cough syrup that combines a strong glycerite with a marshmallow gloop that offers mucilaginous support to dry sore throats and coughs. It is sweet tasting and fantastic for children or people hesitant to take herbal medicine. The ingredients can be altered to make it clinically stronger.

This is the recipe I’ve used to make cough syrup en masse for various grassroots herbal projects. You may need to slightly tweak the quantities depending on the size of your slow cooker.
