Create your own Elderberry syrup for your home apothecary with our blend of organic elderberries and warming ginger root & cinnamon. Add some of our raw, local honey from Ontario Honey Creations to make a soothing syrup to add to teas, bubbly, or have on its own during cold & flu season. Our whole family drinks Elderberry syrup all Winter long, especially at the onset of colds or other seasonal illnesses.
To use:
Combine all ingredients with 2L filtered water in a saucepan. Simmer 20-30 minutes, adding more water as needed. Strain and discard plant materials in a fine mesh strainer and combine remaining warm juice with raw honey to taste, whisking to combine completely. Pour into clean, sterilized jars, cool, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for long term storage. Add 1-2 TBSP to teas, bubbly water, smoothies, or drink on its own.
Note: Elderberries must be cooked before being eaten to avoid stomach discomfort.
