Homemade Elderberry Syrup Kit

Traditional Cold Season Preparation

Rooted in Folk Medicine Traditions
This complete kit allows you to prepare elderberry syrup following traditional European and North American herbal practices. Each package contains:

• Wild-harvested elderberries (Sambucus nigra)
• Organic spices selected from historical recipes:
• Cassia cinnamon (used in 19th-century apothecary formulas)
• Whole cloves (traditional German "kinder syrup" ingredient)
• Ginger root (classic English cold season addition)

Kit Includes:
✓ 30g wild elderberries (makes 16-24oz syrup)
✓ Printed step-by-step preparation guide
✓ Traditional spice proportions
✓ Glass storage recommendations

Historical Uses Documented In:

• Medieval monastic infirmary records
• Pioneer-era household remedy books
• Traditional Appalachian folk medicine

Simple Traditional Preparation:

1. Simmer berries and spices (full instructions included)
2. Strain through cloth (as done in folk traditions)
3. Add sweetener if desired (honey traditionally used)

Why Craft Your Own?

• Control ingredients like traditional herbalists
• Adjust sweetness to family preferences
• Maintain freshness - small batches as historically prepared

Cultural Significance:

Elderberry has been used for generations in:

• Seasonal wellness traditions
• Holiday syrup-making rituals
• Farmhouse kitchen remedies

Storage & Use:

• Refrigerate as done traditionally
• Use within 2-3 months (like historical fresh preparations)
• Glass bottles recommended (following apothecary standards)

Why This Kit Stands Out:
✓ Authentically wild - not cultivated berries
✓ Traditional spice blend - based on 19th-century formulas
✓ Complete instructions - with historical preparation notes

Ideal For:

• Continuing family herbal traditions
• Seasonal cold season rituals
• Homesteading skills education
