Homemade Elderberry Syrup Recipe 1 cup dried elderberries (or 2 cups fresh) ~ available at Mountain Rose Herbs 2 tablespoons rose hips 2 cinnamon sticks 5 cloves 1 teaspoon dried ginger or one inch peeled fresh ginger 1/4 vanilla bean 4 cups water 2 cups honey Homemade Elderberry Syrup Directions: Over medium-low heat simmer the elderberries, rose hips, cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, vanilla bean and water. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until liquid is thick and syrupy and reduced by half. While the mixture is still warm (or the elderberries will absorb all of your syrup!) strain the syrup through a sieve. Combine with honey and store in an airtight container (I use a mason jar) in the refrigerator. 1-2 teaspoons a day is recommended to help prevent illness. Honey is not recommended for children under 1 year of age, due to the very small risk of botulism.
