Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh black or blue elderberries (avoid red elderberries)
- 1–1.5 cups raw honey
Instructions
- Place the elderberries in a pint-sized mason jar and pour honey over them until they are fully submerged, leaving an inch of headspace.
- Cap the jar with a plastic lid or parchment paper to allow for air exchange and invert it for about 30 minutes to ensure even coating.
- Upright the jar, checking for air bubbles; add more honey if necessary.
- Loosen the lid slightly to release gases during fermentation, then store in a warm spot.
- Invert daily for the first 2-3 days, then keep upright while monitoring bubbling over one to two weeks.
- Once bubbly and ready, strain out elderberries before use.
