Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Natural Pressure Release 10 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup elderberries (dried organic or non irradiated)
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 2 inch ginger (chopped, fresh, or freeze dried)
  • 1 Peel lemon (try not to get any of the white pith)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks (organic)
  • 8-12 cloves (whole)

Add After Pressure Cooking and Cooling:

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients except the honey and lemon juice to the instant pot
  • Place the lid on the instant pot
  • Set to pressure cook and let it cook for 15 minutes. Once completed, allow it to natural release all of the pressure (usually takes around 10 - 15 min.)
  • Strain the liquid into another bowl and allow to sit as it cools down.
  • When the liquid has cooled to about room temperature, add the honey and whisk it together until fully combined. Waiting until the liquid has cooled ensures that all of the good properties of your raw honey are not killed by the heat.
  • Add the lemon juice (one lemon) and mix together. After you have mixed everything together, taste the liquid and add more honey if you would like it to be sweeter.
  • Transfer the elderberry syrup to a bottle or mason jar with a lid and refrigerate for up to 2 months.
