Elderberry syrup recipe

MamaSam · 08-28-2015, 12:08 PM

I was going to buy stuff to make elderberry syrup this weekend. I've never made it before. I was going to use this recipe http://wellnessmama.com/1888/elderberry-syrup/
Has anyone used this recipe?

I have ceylon cinnamon powder and I have clove powder(from the spice aisle at the grocery store.) Are these okay to use? Would ginger from the spice aisle work as well? Anything else I need,I'm going to get from Mountain Rose Herbs.

i just always do elderberries (1 cup dried) plus 3 cups water, no other spices. bring to boil, then simmer for a good bit with a lid on it, then strain cool to warmish and then add 1 cup honey. i also do a second batch with the same elderberries (it won't get thick, it will just be more watery ) and then i just add a bit of honey to it and put either just drink it or add it to teas and such.

That's the recipe we use (from the Wellness Mama link).

Everyone will take it, even the picky ones.

Do you have access to fresh ginger root? I always use that, because after it simmers the stated amount of time, I just remove the whole thing. I use whole cloves for the same reason. So easy to fish out afterwards!

I want to try to make it as organic as possible and I do NOT have access to organic ginger root. I think I'll try to use powders.

I bought some from a friend who I think uses that recipe. I just wanted to say, it is delicious mixed with plain yogurt and granola

Plain too, but sometimes it's nice to change things up.
