Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup dried elderberries
  • 3 cups filtered water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and sliced (2 inches)
  • 1/2 cup raw honey

Instructions

  1. Boil Water

    In a medium saucier pan bring 3 cups filtered water to boil.

  2. Simmer Ingredients

    Stir in 3/4 cup dried elderberries, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 whole cloves and 2 inches of ginger peeled and sliced to the boiling water. Immediately turn the heat down to low and simmer for 45 minutes.

  3. Remove Solids

    Remove pan from heat and strain liquid into a large glass bowl and discard all solids. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Then add 1/2 cup raw honey and mix well.

  4. Store Syrup/Elixir

    Store your Elderberry Syrup in an airtight glass container or in swing top bottles in the refrigerator for up to two months. I also love using these clear bottles for giving my homemade Elderberry Syrup/Elixir away for gifts.
