Recipe for Elderberry Syrup

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of raw honey
• 2 tablespoons of dried or fresh ginger root
• ½ teaspoon of cloves (clove powder)
• 3½ cups of water
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
• ⅔ of a cup of black Elderberries (dried)

Directions:

Put the water in a pot. Add all of the ingredients without the honey.

Boil the mixture and let it simmer for 40 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down. The berries should be mashed.

Strain the liquid and let it cool down.

Add the honey when it’s cool. Stir everything well.

Dose:

Adults should take ½ a tablespoon or 1 tablespoon while children should take ½ a teaspoon or 1 teaspoon of the syrup.

How long can the syrup stay in the fridge?

It can stay in the fridge for several weeks, but if you keep it in a jar that has an air-tight lid, it can be kept for months.

Can we plant our own own elderberries?

A herbalist should advise you to discover the proper plant. You should only harvest the berries, because the leaves and the stems can be extremely dangerous.

If you want to order elderberries, use ‘Amazon’ or ‘Mountain Rose Herbs’.

What can we use Elderberry syrup for?

You can take it as a prevention of flu and colds, but you can also substitute any sweetener in different recipes with this syrup.

Can honey be substituted in the Elderberry syrup?

You can use maple syrup or nutrient rich molasses.

Can powdered Elderberries be used?

Instead of 2/3, make sure you only use half of the cup.

Can we reuse Elderberries?

This isn’t recommended. The process of boiling eliminates many of the beneficial nutrients and if you consume them in greater amounts, they can cause problems.
