Elderberry Brandy & Hawthorne Brandy Cordials
I love making cordials in the winter months when flu season is upon us. It will definitely cure whatever is ailing you. My cordials are made the traditional way with organic wildcrafted berries. Whether you are making an Elderberry, Elderflower or Hawthorne cordial the best ingredients are fresh and highly medicinal. I started with a French brandy and added apples, ginger root, pomegranates, rosehips, medicinal Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla bean pods, Cardamon pods and elderflowers. After sitting in a dark place and shaken daily it has a chance to cold steep. Strain and add a nice raw honey and you have a highly potent Elderberry and Brandy Cordial. Take it by the tablespoon or shot glass when your not feeling well and it will boost up your immune system to help fight off whatever is trying to drag you down. Shelf life is almost forever.
