Elderberry gummies ❤
Jan has been busy experimenting with a new way to incorporate elderberries into our daily prep-for-autumn routine, and she's made these delicious elderberry gummies, chock full of vitamins and antioxidants. Elderberries are such a good anti-viral and thus a fantastic support for the immune system. Recipe is as follows:
Elderberry syrup
• 1½ cup fresh berries
• 1 tsp cinnamon / one whole stick
• 1 cup apple juice
• 2 tsp grated ginger
• 1 tsp cloves
• Dash of black pepper
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 1 Tbsp. white sage
• 1 cup honey
Simmer berries, spices, and apple juice for 20-30 minutes, then strain and add honey. Adjust spices to taste (we're thinking to try and double the amount next time!)
Elderberry gummies
• 1½ cup elderberry syrup
• 4 Tbsp. gelatine
Mix the syrup and gelatine well until gelatine is dissolved, then beat together. Fill ice cube trays and store in the fridge. You can eat one a day.
