How to Make Your Own Elderberry Syrup 

Hello [Greeting]

We have been talking to you about using elderberry as a holistic remedy and natural 
form of medicine. One of the ways you can get elderberry is with elderberry syrup, but it 
can be expensive when you purchase it from the drug store or health food store. 
Another great option is to make it yourself.


The Basic Ingredients

First of all, you should know that every recipe you find for elderberry syrup is probably 
going to be a little different. All will contain elderberries and a liquid like water, but many 
of them like to use a selection of other ingredients to improve the effectiveness and 
possibly affect the taste. 

The most basic ingredients include:

Dried elderberries
Water
Honey
Herbs and spices


Switching Up Your Recipe

The two main factors that might help you decide if you want to switch up the recipe are 
either to change the taste, or add some other health benefits. Maybe you don’t like 
ginger, so you use other spices like cloves or cinnamon instead, or you want the health 
benefits from raw honey and the sweetness it adds. Feel free to experiment a little as 
long as it contains elderberries and water, the basis for elderberry syrup. Honey is also 
going to help thicken it a bit, but you should start with just a small amount.
