Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker Method
- Add all ingredients from the Elderberry Syrup DIY Kit, and the 6 cups water to the inner liner of the pressure cooker.
- 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.
- When the cook cycle finishes, turn off the pot so it doesn't go to the Warming setting, and let the pressure release naturally.
- 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.
- 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).
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in 2 cups honey until dissolved. (use maple syrup for children under 1 year of age)
- Taste and add more honey if you like it sweeter, or add a little lemon juice if you like it tart.
- Transfer the elderberry syrup to a bottle or mason jar with a lid and refrigerate for up to 2 months.
Stovetop Method
- Add all ingredients from the Elderberry Syrup DIY Kit, and 6 cups water to a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Mash the berries while still in the pan, then strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, applying some pressure to get all the goodies out of the herb mix.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in 2 cups honey until dissolved. (use maple syrup for children under 1 year of age)
- Taste and add more honey if you like it sweeter, or add a little lemon juice if you like it tart.
- Transfer the elderberry syrup to a bottle or mason jar with a lid and refrigerate for up to 2 months

Love this kit!
This is the freshest and easiest kit I have tried. I love being able to make the syrup whenever I want to, and knowing that I am using real natural ingredients. Also it is a great way to be able to make a child safe version, which I have and gave as a gift to a new mom at church.

A lot of fun and yummy.
We had some fun making this and it really is delicious. I will definitely purchase it again when it is back in stock, but I still prefer the tincture for everyday use. It’s just easier. Plus I heard that it’s more effective.

Fun DIY
We had a lot of fun using this kit. I guess I didn't realize though that elderberry syrup isn't that thick and it is a pain because it has to be refrigerated and used within a certain time. I am sticking with your tincture. It is a lot easier and a lot more cost effective.
