Elderberry gummies ❤

Naturally Healthy

Jan has been busy experimenting with a new way to incorporate elderberries into our daily prep-for-autumn routine, and she's made these delicious elderberry gummies, chock full of vitamins and antioxidants. Elderberries are such a good anti-viral and thus a fantastic support for the immune system. Recipe is as follows:
Elderberry syrup
• 1½ cup fresh berries
• 1 tsp cinnamon / one whole stick
• 1 cup apple juice
• 2 tsp grated ginger
• 1 tsp cloves
• Dash of black pepper
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 1 Tbsp. white sage
• 1 cup honey
Simmer berries, spices, and apple juice for 20-30 minutes, then strain and add honey. Adjust spices to taste (we're thinking to try and double the amount next time!)
Elderberry gummies
• 1½ cup elderberry syrup
• 4 Tbsp. gelatine
Mix the syrup and gelatine well until gelatine is dissolved, then beat together. Fill ice cube trays and store in the fridge. You can eat one a day.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
