Tips for taking elderberry tincture
- Tinctures can taste strong. We have found that some kids don’t bat an eye at them because they have been taking tinctures for various reasons since infant hood.
- Tinctures work best held under the tongue for about 30 seconds. Obviously young children do not like to do this, make it a game by humming the ABC’s or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star while they hold it under their tounge. You can dilute the tincture a little to tame the alcohol too.
- You can mix the tincture with a spoonful of maple syrup, raw honey, yogurt, or applesauce if you think the kids will take it better that way.
- You can dilute the tincture in a warm cup of water with raw honey, or maple syrup to make a “tea”.
- While herbs work best on an empty tummy, just get it in when you can! We shoot for in between meals.
