Have you heard about the awesomeness that is Elderberry Syrup? It has so many health benefits! Now, I’m not a doctor, so don’t take my word for it…go do some research! Google Elderberry Syrup, Elderberry Syrup and flu prevention, and Elderberry Syrup and reduced cold duration and symptoms. Go…I’ll wait.
Convinced? Ok. So let’s make some Elderberry Syrup in the Instant Pot so you can have it done in 20 minutes!
Don’t have an Instant Pot? You can get one on Amazon. This is the one I have:
You also need dried elderberries. My local health food store didn’t have them, so I ordered them from Amazon too!
Ok…let’s go!
Ingredients:
2 cups dried elderberries
8 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks (or more if you really like cinnamon…and it’s super good for you!)
2 cups RAW honey
Put everything except the honey into your Instant Pot. Seal it up and set it for high pressure for 20 minutes.
When it beeps, do a quick release and then open it up and let the mixture cool to almost room temperature. Then, strain the mixture using a very fine strainer or a strainer lined with cheesecloth.
You’ll have a bunch of gorgeous elderberry liquid left. To this liquid, add your 2 cups of raw honey and stir it in completely.
That’s it! Put your awesome and delicious elderberry syrup into mason jars and store in the fridge! It will be good for 4 months.
You can take it one of two ways:
At the first sign of cold or flu, take 2 Tablespoons every 4-6 hours.
Or, daily dosage: take 1 teaspoon daily.
Enjoy!
