Slippery Elm Bark Syrup
Equipment
- Stainless steel saucepan/pot
- Glass jar with a tight fitting lid
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup purified water
- 1 tsp slippery elm bark powder (or you can open and empty the contents of 5 capsules into the pan)
Instructions
- Put 1/2 cup of cool purified water into a glass or stainless steel saucepan.
- Add one slightly rounded teaspoon of slippery elm powder (or you can open and empty the contents of 5 capsules into the pan).
- Whisk with a fork until the powder blends with the water. Note: Always blend it in the cold water first. If you add the powder to warm or hot water it will be lumpy.

Even if you just add the dry powder mixed to an animals soft food it can help soothe the digestive system.
