Organic/Wildcrafted Ingredients:
elderberry, (elderflower), mullein, cinnamon, ginger, rosehips.
If you can make a cup of tea, or drain the water off a pot of pasta - - you can make your own elderberry syrup. Fill it with your own loving healing magical intentions, control the sweetener content, and save money compared to the cost of commercially prepared syrup. All you need is a pot, strainer, included paper filter, clean water, clean jar, and real honey* or preferred sweetener.
Bring 2 cups of fresh water to boil in a pot. Remove paper filter from bag. Add entire contents of Elderberry Syrup Dry Mix to the pot and reduce heat. Gently simmer uncovered for 30 min or until the volume is reduced to approximately 1 cup. Mash gently with potato masher or fork. Strain through strainer lined with included filter to collect fine mullein fibers & **Collect the Liquid** (approx 1 cup). Allow liquid to cool till warm.
Add 1 cup of pure Canadian honey* or sweetener of your choice, in lower quantity if desired, & stir till dissolved. Pour into a very clean/sterile glass jar & store covered in the fridge for 4+ weeks. Pour each serving out or use a very clean spoon. Do not double dip or drink from the jar. Shelf life may be reduced if the jar is contaminated at any point or if a lower amount of honey/sweetener is used.
The original kit and/or leftover herbs after making syrup can be used for a homemade tincture, glycerite, or oxymel, or to make tea for popsicles or jelly. The syrup can be used as the basis for gummies.
