Print Recipe

A simple and comforting elderberry syrup recipe infused with cinnamon and cloves, perfect for natural wellness boosts during cold seasons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dried elderberries (approximately 100g)
  • 4 cups water (950ml)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 5–6 whole cloves
  • 1/2 cup raw honey (120ml)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and rinse the elderberries under cold water to remove any dust or debris (about 2 minutes).
  2. Combine elderberries, water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and optional ginger in a medium saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat (5-7 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes, covered loosely with a lid, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
  6. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl or measuring cup, pressing gently to extract all liquid.
  7. While the syrup is still warm but not hot, stir in the raw honey until fully dissolved (2-3 minutes).
  8. Pour the finished syrup into a sterilized glass jar or bottle, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Do not add honey when the syrup is too hot to preserve its beneficial enzymes. Let syrup cool about 10 minutes before adding honey. Crushing elderberries before simmering is optional. Store syrup in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
