Elderberry Syrup
What you’ll need…
1 cup fresh elderberries (Sambucus nigra) or 1/2 cup dried berries
3 cups water
1 cup honey
Place the berries in a saucepan and cover them with the 3 cups of water. Then, bring it to a boil, reduce the heat,
and simmer for a half hour.
SMASH up the berries. Then, strain the mixture through a mesh strainer.
Add the honey.
Bottle and store the elderberry syrup in the fridge, where it will last a few months.
