Equipment
Saucepan
Mason jar
Mixing spoon
Cheesecloth
Ingredients
1
cup
dried elderberries
or 2 cups fresh elderberries
6
cups
filtered water
1
cup
honey
Instructions
Bring your filtered water to boil in a large saucepan. Pour your elderberries into the water, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer the elderberries for 45 minutes, or until the liquid has been reduced by around half.
When the syrup has cooled, strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
Stir in the honey after straining (you want to make sure it's cool so you don't destroy the beneficial enzymes).
Pour your elderberry syrup into a glass mason jar or other glass jar, then store in the fridge for up to 2-3 months.
