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 in enough honey to cover them, leaving at least an inch of headspace.
- Cap the jar with a plastic lid or parchment paper, then invert it for about 30 minutes to coat the berries thoroughly.
- Turn the jar upright, check for air bubbles, and add more honey if necessary to fully cover the berries.
- Loosen the lid for airflow during fermentation; store the jar out of direct sunlight.
- Invert daily for 2-3 days, then monitor for bubbles; stir occasionally to promote fermentation over one to two weeks.
- Strain before consuming and enjoy as needed.
