Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Dried Elderberries
  • 5 Cups Filtered Water
  • 3 Slices Orange
  • 1/2 tsp Whole Cloves
  • 1 Stick Cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp Ginger Root Peeled and diced
  • 3/4 Cup Raw Honey

Instructions

  • Start by rinsing your elderberries using a fine mesh strainer
  • Add all of your ingredients except for the honey to a small saucepan and heat over medium
  • Bring ingredients to a simmer, turn the heat down to medium-low, and let sit for 1-2 hours
  • After simmering, strain the syrup and add the liquid to a glass mason jar or another container
  • After cooling, add honey and mix well. It will be harder to mix as the liquid cools, but adding the honey when your syrup is too hot will kill the good stuff in your honey
  • Store with a tight-fitting lid in the fridge for up to a month
