Elderberry Syrup Recipe

With everything going on, it seems like boosting immunity is on everyone’s priority list. Elderberry has been proven to improve immune function and so many people swear by it. I’ve been taking elderberry syrup to boost the immune system for years now but recently I just started making my own and let me tell ya, it’s SO much more cost effective to make your own syrup!

I’m not going to give too much info on elderberries because i’m not a doctor and don’t know all of the science but feel free to Google them! Anything that helps boost the immune system though? I’m ALL about it.

Elderberries are hard to come by these days but I will link some down below if I can find some that are available!

Here’s how to make your own Elderberry Syrup:

Ingredients:

3 cups water

1/2 cup dried elderberries

1/2 tsp ground clove

1/3 tsp cinnamon

1 Tbs grated fresh ginger

3/4 cup raw honey

How to:

-Add water, elderberries, clove, cinnamon, and ginger into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil

-Simmer on the stove for 1 hour

-Remove from heat and mash the berries with a potato masher or any other flat utensil

-Let cool to room temperature

-Once at room temperature add in the raw honey

-Store syrup in a 16 ounce jar with a air-tight lid (I use mason jars)

-Store in the fridge for up to a month!

I take 1 Tbs every day for maintenance and if i’m feeling under the weather I take 1 Tbs every three hours

Let me know if you have any other questions about Elderberries and if you make this!
