Elderberry Chocolate Cough Syrup

Elderberry is a wonderful immune booster and kids usually love the taste. Pure Chocolate works really well as a cough suppressant. I borrowed this from Natural Mom, Healthy Child.
Ingredients: •1/2 cup of cocoa powder (preferably organic,non-alkaline) •1 cup elderberry juice •1 cup honey •1 pinch of large salt •1/4 tsp vanilla Mix the cocoa and the elderberry juice in a saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve the cocoa. Boil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the salt and the vanilla. While still warm, but not too hot,  add the honey and stir to dissolve. Let cool. Pour into a sterile glass jar,and store in the refrigerator. Keeps for several months.
Yields two cups. You can also use store bought elderberry syrup, heat it up, and add 1/2 cup cocoa powder to one cup syrup

Take 1 tsp. every 2 hours(for children) or 1 tbs. (for adults) during the day, and 2 tsp (children) or 2 tbs.(adults) at bedtime.
