Ingredients

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.
