I have used this Elderberry Syrup (with astragalus) recipe for YEARS! And let me tell you, it NEVER fails. Ever. In this video I go …
Is this shelf stable or fridge???
can the honey be used to replace the sugar?
You ruined it with that sugar should’ve used wild honey (raw)
I have been making it in New Zealand from 1980’s for your Immune System adding Rosehips to mine.
thank you… not crazy abut the arsenic. you add sugar and honey, is this safe for diabetics?
I really wanted to buy elderberry and astralagus, where can i buy them?
How much brandy would you add for preserving
Can the syrup be canned without lessening the good properties. If you make a large batch but dont have enough refrigerator space. Also it would be a good gift that way
Hi! I know this video was posted a while ago but I have a question I'm hoping you'll see! lol. Can you use the berries more than once? I watched a video recently…where the person used the berries once..strained them and used them again…? Now, I would've thought the essential properties would be stripped after the first infusion…..but maybe I missed some information. lol. I am still learning…and dont want to assume anything! If you see this…Please let me know! Thank you!!! 😁 Also, if I make an extract with alcohol and then add honey to it….will it be shelf stable? Or should it be put the fridge? I thought if I added honey to it …after the elderberries are done steeping in the alcohol it would help make it taste better but also get the benefits from the honey..?
I just finished making your Elderberry syrup with Astragalus, following your instructions exactly. My question is regarding the boiling time. I tripled the recipe and as a result I had to boil much longer than thirty minutes to cook it to half the amount. Did I loose much of the medicinal value as a result? I just assumed the larger amount took longer to cook down? What say you?
Love your podcast.
Been growing and using elderberries since the late 80s! Wonderful jelly, wine, tincture and syrup! Got a 15 foot tree in my yard that I planted myself back in the day! Elderflower fritters are wonderful too!
Can I use glycerine to make elderberry tincture and what would be the ratio along with water
If you buy American elderberries (Sambucus Canadensis) you do not need to boil them because they do not have cyanide in them. You can order them freeze dried from River Hills Harvest. By not boiling them the beneficial antioxidants are preserved. Hope this helps.
Amy…..I have plain elderberry syrup n didn't add anything else….can I add the astragalus n stuff n build it down that way n still get the same results?
So appreciate the video! Would you say in small amounts it's safe for pregnant women?
Can elderberry syrup be canned or frozen?
How long does it last in fridge
I just Google and it say elderberries are toxic. I confused help me please I want to make for my kids this winter
I have an abundance of wild elderberries equivalent? Is it like herbs, 3:1? (Fresh/dried)
Would chock cherries have the same result . And can you freeze it
Is there any problem if you accidentally add honey in the initial boiling process? I wasn’t following my recipe closely and added a little honey before I realized that is for later…?
Aren’t you concerned about using astragalus daily? I thought we don’t want to have the immune system in overdrive non-stop.
There are actually two different kinds of medicinal Elderberries. One is European and there is an American Elderberry. Sambucus canadensis (North American Elderberry) and Sambucus nigra (European Elderberry). Tests conducted by researchers at the University of Missouri’s Elderberry Improvement Project also show that canadensis plants have far lower concentrations of cyanogenic glycosides, the compounds in elderberries that give some people stomach trouble. Therefore, they do not have to be cooked At higher temperatures.
If I add astragalus to my elderberry syrup, isn’t it too strong for daily use?
Everybody thinking is usually different but that didn't stop #drmadida from curing my herpes zoster with his herbs.
Good content lady!
Hi Amy, I have a question. How much echinacea do I put in the syrup?
What’s the shelf life
Hi Amy,
Is it possible to add extra honey in place of the sugar?
