Print Recipe

A quick and easy elderberry syrup made in the Instant Pot with ginger and raw honey, perfect for boosting immunity during cold season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) dried elderberries
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup (340g) raw honey
  • 4 cups (1 liter) water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 medium cinnamon stick (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger. Measure out 1 cup (120g) of dried elderberries and gather the rest of your ingredients.
  2. Pour 4 cups (1 liter) of water into the Instant Pot. Add the elderberries, sliced ginger, and cinnamon stick if using. Stir to combine.
  3. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  4. Allow the pressure to release naturally for about 15 minutes, then carefully open the valve to release any remaining steam.
  5. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or jar. Pour the elderberry mixture through, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  6. While the syrup is still warm but not hot, stir in 1 cup (340g) of raw honey and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Mix well until fully combined.
  7. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before sealing the jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best brightness. Add honey only when syrup is warm, not hot, to preserve enzymes. Natural pressure release is key to avoid bitterness. For thicker syrup, simmer after straining. Vegan option: substitute raw honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
