Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker Method

1. Add all ingredients from the Elderberry Syrup DIY Kit, and the 6 cups water to the inner liner of the pressure cooker.
2. Place lid on and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.  Press the Pressure Cook (or Manual) button or dial and then the +/- button or dial and select 15 minutes.
3. When the cook cycle finishes, turn off the pot so it doesn't go to the Warming setting, and let the pressure release naturally.
4. Open the lid and take out the inner pot and strain the liquid into a glass bowl to cool, applying enough pressure to get all of the goodies out of the herb mixture.
5. Optional Step: Turn on the Sauté setting to the LOW temperature. Let the syrup simmer and reduce for 5 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness is achieved (We personally do not reduce ours, but it may be desired if you will be using your end product for waffles and pancakes). 
6. Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in 2 cups honey until dissolved. (use maple syrup for children under 1 year of age)
7. Taste and add more honey if you like it sweeter, or add a little lemon juice if you like it tart.
8. Transfer the elderberry syrup to a bottle or mason jar  with a lid and refrigerate for up to 2 months.

4. Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in 2 cups honey until dissolved. (use maple syrup for children under 1 year of age)
5. Taste and add more honey  if you like it sweeter, or add a little lemon juice if you like it tart.
