This Flu-Season formula has been a go-to remedy in our household for decades.  The properties of Elderberry are repeatedly recommended for dealing with the discomforts of cold and cough related issues.  We added the mucilaginous benefits of licorice as well as its sweet soothing taste and a few other seasonal treats to help round off its overall benefits.  A nice comforting tea for the whole family when the noses begin to run and the throats begin to cough.
