Ingredients:
2 cups elderberries
1 cup water
1 cup honey
Method:
Put the elderberries and water in a pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Strain through a sieve.
Measure the liquid and put it back into the pot with equal parts honey. For example - 500ml liquid will need 500g honey. Heat for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the honey has dissolved.
Pour into clean, sterile containers and store in a cool place.
Proceed cautiously, as I have known this to start fermenting, which can lead to exploding containers.
This syrup is said to be great for colds. Either way it tastes great on porridge, or mixed with hot water to make a tea.
