A simple, immune-boosting elderberry syrup infused with cinnamon and fresh ginger, perfect for cold season and natural health support.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) dried elderberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • ½ cup (120ml) raw honey
  • 4 cups (950ml) filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon ground cloves or allspice

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup dried elderberries, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger in a medium saucepan. Pour in 4 cups filtered water.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and simmer gently for 45 minutes until the water turns deep purple and aromatic.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or pitcher, pressing solids gently to extract liquid. Discard solids.
  4. Let the liquid cool to lukewarm (about 110°F / 43°C), then stir in ½ cup raw honey and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
  5. Pour syrup into a sterilized glass jar or bottle with a tight lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

[‘Use fresh ginger for best flavor; powdered ginger is not recommended.’, ‘Do not skip straining to avoid bitterness and potential toxicity from elderberry seeds and pulp.’, ‘Simmer gently rather than boiling to preserve nutrients.’, ‘Add honey only after the syrup has cooled to preserve its enzymes.’, ‘Store syrup in the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.’, ‘For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.’, ‘Fresh elderberries can be used in double the quantity with a slightly longer simmer time.’, ‘Freeze in small portions for longer storage.’]
