# 52 Herbal Syrups and Remedies for What Ails You
hands-on

Get hands-on for health this winter as you prepare delicious and effective remedies to help keep colds and flu at bay. Herbalist and wild-foods advocate Terry-Anya Hayes shares three separate kitchen strategies to winterize your medicine chest and maximize health when the cold winds blow. Making your own herbal remedies is easy, and what could be more satisfying than supporting your health with products fresh from your own kitchen? Instead of opening a bottle with an unpronounceable list of ingredients, you will know exactly what goes into these remedies!

We will cook up a quartet of scrumptious herbal syrups to take by the spoonful, pour onto pancakes, or stir into tea; a fiery anti-viral vinegar that can also pep up a winter salad; and a batch of herbal pills delicious enough to be served with dessert. The following array of tasty herbal medicines will be made in sufficient quantity to provide take-home samples for all. Elderberry-Ginger Syrup (anti-viral); Hawthorn/Linden Syrup (cardiac and nerve support); Rose Hip-Lemon-Lavender Syrup (Vitamin C, antibacterial, antioxidant); Wild Cherry Bark Cough Syrup; Rosemary Gladstar's Fire Cider (the label on the bottle should read "BREAK GLASS at the first sign of a cold"); and Slippery Elm and Echinacea Pastilles (respiratory support and sore throat soothing). (Some organic raw honey will be used.)
