Recipe:
3/4 C. Dried Elderberries
3 Cinnamon Sticks
2 T. shredded fresh ginger
1 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 C. dried rose hips.
3 1/2 C. Water
1 C. Raw Honey

Put all ingredients except honey in a heavy bottom pot and bring to boil over medium high heat. As soon as boil begins, drop heat to simmer and cover. Simmer 45 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the product cool to the point it can be handled. Removed cinnamon sticks and mash contents with a spoon or masher. Press through fine mesh sieve, squeeze through cheese cloth or put through juicer.

Mix 1 cup of honey into the resulting juice. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few months. Take a spoonful daily or as needed.

  1. I've never made it but, I have been using it for probably 12 years. There is a Holistic store near me and the herbalist there makes it and other holistic remedies that is sold there.

  2. Do you use English or American berries? I'm right about cyanide in the English berries, but it can be cooked. I want to make sure that I have the right recipe for the right berries!

  3. Love it, have you tried camu camu powder? I make elderberry syrup every year around this time but a friend of mine told me to add camu camu because of its extremely high vitamin c content ♡

  4. I grow elderberries to help shade my chicken coop….two plants produced about 4 gallons of berries in their second summer. Very easy to grow your own and make homemade syrup!

  5. Searching for a syrup recipe and I come across yours. Im already a subscriber so very happy I found this video. Im using fresh berries from a secret patch that took me 5 years to find. Also using honey from my Uncles farm.

  6. I just discovered tons of wild elderberry trees on my property. They are bushes but huge!!! The smell of the blossoms in the spring is amazing. You are my go to girl for my gardening and herbal stuff. Thank you for being you.
