Elderberry syrup is delicious when drizzled over anything you would put syrup on, like waffles, pancakes, or ice cream. It’s also good for treating colds and the flu when taken in 1-tablespoon doses. Store in a lidded jar in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 months.
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup fresh elderberries
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 1 cup honey
Directions
Step 1
Combine water, elderberries, ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Mash berries with a potato mixture to release juices. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, retaining juice and discarding pulp, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Let cool for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in honey until thoroughly combined.
Tips
You can substitute simple syrup or agave nectar for the honey.
