5 from 3 votes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh or dried elderberries
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2-1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Add all elderberries, pure maple honey, herbs and spices into a pot. Set it to medium heat and bring it a boil. 
  • Once mixture is boiling, lower heat to medium low and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. Or until the mixture has reduced by half. 
  • Remove from heat and let syrup cool to room temperature. 
  • Once it is finally cooled to room temperature, use a mesh strainer to strain all the liquid out from the berries. You can also use a spoon to press the berries down to extract more liquid from them as well. You want to get all the elderberry juice you can get from these berries!
  • Discard the remaining berries in the strainer. Pour syrup into mason jars and seal tightly. Then, place in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
