How do I store my elderberry kit before I make it?If you aren't making your kit right away, I recommend storing it in the pantry for up to one month. After that, just pop it in the freezer up to a year to maintain maximum freshness! No need to thaw once you're ready to cook!
-
I received my elderberry kit and forgot to put it in the freezer. Can I still use it?Most likely, yes! Use your judgment - storing your kit in the freezer after a month is simply my suggestion to maintain optimal freshness.
-
How do I store the syrup after it's made? How long is it good for?Store your syrup in a glass jar in the fridge for up to six weeks. Unlike store bought syrup, homemade does not have added preservatives to make it shelf stable.
-
How much syrup does one kit make?This can vary from customer to customer, but on average, each kit makes around 28 oz of syrup!
-
Why is my syrup so thin?Your homemade elderberry syrup will be less of a syrup and more of a juice consistency because it doesn't have thickeners.
-
What age is it safe to consume elderberry syrup?I recommend waiting to start until six months (with an alternative sweetener to honey like maple syrup, or omitting the sweetener altogether.)
-
Can you consume elderberry syrup if you have an autoimmune disease?Elderberry is an immune boosting plant, therefore it does activate the immune system. However, I know many with autoimmune disease who have no issues with it, including my husband! I always tell people to listen to your body and make that call on an individual basis.
