Herbal syrups taste yummy, are easy to make, and easy to take. This is herbal medicine that you and your family won’t wrinkle your noses over. In fact, some herbal syrups can be enjoyed on pancakes or in drinks. Check out these three herbal syrup recipes that are favorites in my kitchen and among my students.
#1 Iron Tonic Syrup
The iron syrups at health food stores are often pretty expensive and high in sugar. Based on decades of teaching and direct evidence, I believe this DIY iron tonic has the ultimate combination of iron-rich herbs and fruits, and I’ve been honored to hear glowing feedback from countless women over the years.

#2 Violet Syrup
Folk medicine is rich with uses for violet. In Europe, violet’s use in the kitchen and home herbalism dates back to at least medieval times. Here’s an herbal syrup recipe that lets you bottle the color, magic and fragrance of violets to use in mocktails and cocktails, or drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal.

#3 Elderberry Juniper Syrup
If I take this herbal syrup the day I feel the very first symptoms of a cold or sore throat… well, it never comes. Even now, it sometimes amazes me, if I feel fatigue or a tickle in my throat, and I JUMP ON IT with this syrup… it doesn’t progress. With all my students and their kids, I have heard this story hundreds of times now.
