What do I do with Elderberry Syrup?

Straight up: Like a shot!

Cocktails: Especially good with vodka, gin and bourbon.

Mocktails: 1 ounce of syrup to 6 ounces soda water

Yoghurt: Mix with plain or vanilla

Overnight Oats: Mix with whatever milk you use

Smoothies: Any recipe you would use blueberries in

Tea: To sweeten, instead of honey

Add to Yoghurt

Scoop up a bowl of your favorite plain yoghurt.

Then drizzle on a tablespoon or so of elderberry syrup and top with a little granola, cashew nuts or flax seeds.

Make Elderberry Soda

This couldn't be easier. Combine fizzy water + about 2 Tablespoons of elderberry syrup.

It's incredibly beautiful and refreshing.

With fresh or frozen Elderberries you can make

Elderberry Jam

1.5 cups fresh elderberries
3/4 cup filtered water
1.5 cups blueberry, grape, cherry or apple juice
3 teaspoons pectin (we like Pomonas)
sweetener of choice, to taste.

Bring berries, water and juice to a boil.

Remove one cup of mixture from the heat, add pectin and sweetener and stir until smooth.

Return to the pot and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and stir for ten minutes until it starts to thicken up a bit (it will start to cling to the spoon).
