Ingredients

Elderberries*, Cinnamon*, cloves*, ginger*, honey

​

My kit made less than 16 ounces. Why is that?

Evaporation may increase at different altitudes or in different size pans. Your elderberry syrup may be a little too concentrated. Just add water until you're at the 16 oz mark (after you add the honey). You can reduce evaporation by using a smaller pan and simmering, not boiling. 

​

I have more than 16 ounces!

You need to simmer it a little longer!

​

Can I use my own honey?

Unless you live in the north Texas area, you might consider substituting raw, unfiltered honey from your own region. Just add 3 oz of your honey to the recipe (or more to taste), and use the honey you received in the kit for biscuits! For added allergy fighting benefits, also add a little local pollen (usually available from local beekeepers).

​

How long will the dry ingredients last?

Indefinitely if left sealed.

​

How long will the syrup last?

Your syrup should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within 30 days.
