Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine the dried elderberries and water.
- Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
- After simmering, use a wooden spoon to mash the elderberries gently.
- Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the liquid into a bowl.
- While the liquid is still warm, stir in the honey until fully dissolved.
- Add the cinnamon, ginger, and lemon juice to the syrup.
- Pour the syrup into a clean glass jar or bottle. Allow it to cool completely before sealing and storing it in the refrigerator.
Notes
This syrup is great drizzled over pancakes, added to tea, or used in smoothies.
